Hannah Green was used to physical pain, but the pain of leaving her younger brother behind her wasn't a pain she was ready to face. For years, Hannah yearned for an escape from her dysfunctional life, to run away from the pain her father caused her. When a terrible accident occurs, Hannah is left with no other choice than to help her best friend Alyssa escape. They must say goodbye to what they know and flee. Together the two run away, leaving the police and their sleepy town behind them. The two girls are tested against all odds as they run further and further away from home, slowly becoming the two most sought after fugitives of the year. But, while the girls are on the run Hannah's brother Kenton is trapped at home. He alone must face the demons that plagued his family for years. Will they escape, or will their pasts finally catch up with them?

A dark free-verse poem that tells the story of nine girls who go their own way in the world instead of listening to the warnings of others.
