School, work, sleep, repeat. That's Athena Yates' routine 365 days a year, every day the same; most days blending together. Being poor and unwanted at a private prestigious high school isn't ideal for a teenager, but it's the life Athena is forced to live. She spends hours covering the bruises she receives from her abusive brother and father, while her alcoholic mother does nothing but waste their money drinking away her sorrows. Having no friends, no family and no social life, Athena struggles through high school, counting down the days until she can move away from her poor excuse of a family.
Spencer Williams is the opposite of Athena; living a life that Athena can only dream of. Spencer's family is swimming in money, his father being the owner of one of the most high end hotels in the country. Not only is Spencer rich, but popular, handsome, well loved, and desired by everyone. Spencer causes girls to swoon and boys question their sexuality. When Spencer stands up for Athena at school, something clicks between the two of them. A love blossoms that no one, not even Athena or Spencer, ever imagined.
