Shane McMillan's summer is over. He messed up, he really did. But he remembers the beginning. The way she had come into his life all of a sudden, a whirlwind of spontaneous, a blur of winks and smiles. She took risks and jumped boundaries. She was like a gypsy, moving to new places, pulling Shane along behind her. He wants to go back. Start over. Do it again. Rewind. Throwback.

Escher Griffith is young. Far too young to be loving a boy according to her town. Because when you live in Denver, you're life is controlled by the church. That means no partying, no late curfews, appropriate clothing, and certainly no falling in love before you're old enough to understand love at all. Escher is fine with all of this, just fine. You would sooner be able to move the sun.than convince her to sleep with you. Until J.R Milligan. The class clown with the goofy laugh and the stupid jokes. The boy whose father died. The boy her mother would never have approved of. The boy that makes a bet with his friends that he can sleep with Escher before the end of the school year. Will one bet go unnoticed?
