Onika Maraj hated change, so it's no understatement that she went crazy when her mother broke the news that they were being uprooted from New York City to the Island of Barbados. She doesn't want to leave her friends and life behind all because her father got a new job. But with all her other relatives in Trinidad she had no choice. She finds friendship in a Bajan beauty who seems to have everything. But things aren't always what they appear.

"Maybe I want to know who you are." "Maybe.. I don't want you ta know who I am." "But-" "You done nah? The teacher is talking." "Can you just tell me what your name is, girl next door?" "Robyn. Now turn around, gal. I'm trying ta work." After seemingly escaping her problems from her previous life, 17-year old basketball player, Robyn Fenty, moves to Santa Monica, California. New start. New high school. New people... new problems. 17-year old dancer Onika Tanya Maraj, commonly known as Nicki, wonders who is the girl next door. Nicki sees that the girl doesn't talk, and when she does, she's rude. She lives alone and she seems to love basketball. The mysterious girl somehow wows her and she vows to learn more about her. But for a girl who has a hidden past and won't let anyone get to her, what happens when their paths cross one day?
