Fifteen-year-old Rachel gets along better with animals than people. At the animal shelter where she volunteers, she meets a feral collie she names Grrl. The dog seems to be as angry and alone as Rachel feels. Giving a voice to Grrl in an essay helps Rachel to express her own pain and frustration at being alienated. When Griffin, a new boy at school, admires her writing and offers to help Grrl find a home, Rachel isn’t sure she can trust him.
