With two out, loud and proud mothers, plump and clumsy Lily is miserable in fifth grade where bullies torment her on the playground and in class. Across the room Clara sits still as a statue, never volunteering or raising her hand, answering only in a whisper with her head down to avoid eye contact, keeping her family's secret that she has two dads.

The two girls find one another, each relieved to have a friend, especially one who understands living in a rainbow family. Lily As their families grow close and their circle of friends expand, everything is great until old lies and blackmail catch up with them.

Clara is kidnapped. Her two dads move fast, the police even faster, but her best friend must be the quickest of all. Will Lily be in time to save Clara's life or will her best, first, and for a time her only friend be killed? Everything comes down to the awkward girl's speed. How fast can Lily run when a life is on the line?
