Miri teaches in an at-risk high school for girls. She feels she has a handle on things until she confronts Risa, one of her "quiet" students. As Risa begins to open up to her, Miri realizes that the eating disorders she's read about and heard about from others is a far cry from the difficulties encountered by this young student. She's suffering from a teenage plague that is overwhelming high schools nationwide.
