Lizzie Foster has her life planned out-get through high school, do the work, keep a low profile, and be as invisible as possible. She's perfectly content with her routine until her path crosses with Jaiden Walker, the reserved, arrogant boy in her class who certainly doesn't fit into her world. So, when Lizzie finds out her teachers have assigned her as his "study buddy babysitter", she is less than thrilled.
Frustrated and determined to just get through it, Lizzie and Jaiden struggle to find common ground. But as the weeks pass, they uncover layers of each other's lives that aren't as different as they first seemed.
Jaiden's silence hides a world of complexity, and Lizzie's carefully constructed walls start to crack. As their connection deepens, neither Lizzie nor Jaiden can ignore the pull between them-something they're both scared to confront, unsure of where it's headed or how powerful it might become.
What started as a reluctant partnership now feels like something far more complicated, and they're both left wondering if they're ready to face the emotions they've been fighting so hard to avoid.
