The novel explores the unbreakable bond between a parent and child, questioning whether a person can truly reinvent themselves or if their past mistakes are carried forever. The story centers on fourteen-year-old Trixie Stone, a popular high school student, whose world is shattered after she is date-raped by her ex-boyfriend. This event forces her father, Daniel, a mild-mannered comic book artist, to confront a shockingly tumultuous past he has hidden even from his family. As Daniel struggles with a vengeful rage to protect his daughter, his actions threaten to destroy his family and their future. The book uses a unique structure, interspersing the narrative with pages from Daniel's graphic novel, which draws on the allegory of Dante's Inferno to parallel the real-life quest to save his daughter from her own hell.
