Friends are a liability. Julia learns this the hard way when she covers up a slur about her best friend with a beautiful (albeit illegal) graffiti mural, sprayed right across the gymnasium wall of the Kingston School for the deaf. But then her (supposed) best friend snitches, her principal expels her, and her moms set Julia up with a one-way ticket to a "mainstream" school in the suburbs, where she's outcast as the only deaf student. Here, Julia finds herself dragged into a graffiti war, and she must risk arrest and expulsion to go toe to toe with her rival...or face losing the only piece of her identity that still makes sense.
