Seventh-grader Zoey takes care of her younger siblings after school every day while her mom is at work. THey all live with Lenny, her mom´s boyfriend, in his trailer. Zoey thinks everything would be easier if she were an octopus: with eight arms, camouflage ability, protective defenses, and steady vision. At school, Zoey and her only friend, Fuchsia, try to stay under the radar. WHen she´s forced to join the debate club, Zoey starts seeing things in a new way - including her mom´s relationship with Lenny, Fuchsia´s situation, and her own place in a judgmental town. Can Zoey find the courage to speak up, even if it means risking the most stable home she´s ever had?
