Synopsis
Romeo and Juliet are dead. It's a terrible tragedy, and everyone blames Rosaline. If only she'd gone to that party, the star-crossed lovers would never have met, and all would be well in Verona. But she didn't, and they did, and so now it's not—and everyone blames her. With expulsion from Fair Verona Prep a day away, Rosaline and her two best friends race to clear her name. But if it's not Rosaline's fault, then who's really to blame? The (school) nurse? The (apothe)Cary? Guidance Counselor Laurence? Or will the search for the truth yield an answer that no one—not even Rosaline—was expecting?
