Layla is on a fellowship in Indonesia, and Rina is the local tour guide. The two discover overlap in their ambitions—Layla aims to prove the damage international aid has caused, and Rina is intent on revealing the harms of white privilege—and become friends. That is, until Layla falls for one of Rina’s scams and retaliates. Five years later, Layla has found academic success in Australia. She’s kept that summer out of her mind until the morning she spots Rina and her life is thrown into turmoil.
