INEŻ KIENET PERF(ETTA)
(Ineż was Perf(ect))

Ineż is fourteen. A Perf ... short for “perfect”: the ultimate label to aspire to. If you’re fourteen, that is. Ineż is popular, beautiful, sassy, rebellious, a saint, a social media queen.

Ineż goes missing.

In her small community– where it’s practically impossible to get lost or hide - things and secrets start floating to the surface. What the Police doesn’t manage to discover is uncovered by the youngsters who knew Ineż ... and didn’t think she was that Perf(ect), after all.

But what pushed Ineż to behave the way she did just before she disappeared? Because Ineż certainly wasn’t perfect ... but everyone expected her to be, in one way or another, their own definition of perfection. And now she cannot speak up for herself. No one seems to be culpable. But everyone is complicit in her disappearance.
