The Karate Kid meets A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

Fifteen-year-old Fanny Berk just wants to be left alone. After a violent antisemitic attack on her family, she retreats into the shadows-quiet, guarded, and wrapped in dark clothes. Her only escape is karate, where she trains relentlessly, keeping her world small and private.

But everything changes when she steps in to protect a classmate from a brutal bullying assault. Her split-second act of heroism makes her a target for a ruthless criminal organization, dragging her into the fight of her life.

As the threats grow, a ragtag group of classmates refuses to leave her side-including a rescue dog that won't take no for an answer. Now, Fanny must decide: trust her newfound crew or keep fighting alone-and hope she survives.
