Our 16-year-old protagonist is stuck in a new home with a nice stepdad but three horrible stepbrothers who constantly play pranks on her. Her mom doesn’t seem to understand the severity of the situation, brushing it off as ‘bonding.’ When the pranks escalate to the point where her toothbrush is used to clean the toilet, she finally snaps.
