The book is dedicated to survivors of real life rehabilitation program Straight, Incorporated, including Paddock's sister.

After an interview with the program director in which most of her answers are twisted out of context to make her seem like a drug addict, Justine is admitted to Come Clean for what is supposedly a three-day observation.

The head of the program, Hilary Navarre, asks the group if anyone knows her, and a boy called Earl admits to taking marijuana with her.

They are both smoking marijuana and hand it to Justine, but before she raises it to her lips Joshua reappears and shouts at her to never do it again.

During a weekly meeting, where the families of the admitted come to discuss their progress, Toby's little sister does not believe he is an addict so enlists his football friends to help him escape.

Toby escapes, and Justine takes refuge in her parents' car, and she is forced to return inside to the program.

During the drive home, a van crashes into Moira's car, and several people bang on the windows chanting Justine's name.

In a last-ditch attempt to prevent re-admittance, Justine explains how Dwight raped and emotionally tortured her.
