Math is easy for Lexi, but complex emotions are difficult, and A.P. Calculus won't help her overcome guilt, fear, or self-destructive behavior.

Sixteen-year old Lexi Thompson believes she should've died in the car accident that took her parents. Now she slices her guilt into her skin, aggravating an already dangerous cutting habit. When Lexi is contacted about her parents' lost proof of a famous math theorem, her guilt over her parents' deaths intensifies. Math was her parents' passion as well as her own.

Lexi enlists her friend and fellow math whiz, Joe, to help find the proof. As their relationship deepens, Lexi struggles to keep her self-harm secret. Further, she realizes she's not the only one interested in her parents' proof. A mysterious man hangs around her family's vacant home and lurks in the woods where she runs with her dog. The stalker's presence exacerbates her anxiety, along with the frequency and severity of her cutting. The more she tries to conceal her self-harm, the more she pulls away from Joe and from finding the proof.

If she can't let go of her fear and open up to Joe, she may lose him as well as the proof to a man who's intent on stealing her parents' legacy.
