Paisley has a bucket list. After all, she's going to die in three months. What she expects is for her little excursions to be fun-filled and light-hearted, but what she doesn't expect is to have one thing on her bucket list that can only be achieved by bringing along badass Jude Andrews, who's got some secrets of his own. Now that Jude Andrews is tagging along with Paisley while she sets out to complete her bucket list, she learns he's giving her reasons to want to live as long as possible.

After escaping their abusive father, sixteen year old Stevie Greenwood and her younger sister Isabelle flee to the only place that they've ever called home, Greenwood Plantation. They return to their Grandfather who's been taking care of the place along with their mother, who's suffering from a serious mental illness. Coming back, they think that everything will be normal again. However Stevie quickly learns that we can't always pick up where we left off.

"We're going to send you to a behaviour camp. 'It's called Cormac Camp for Youth's." I was ready to faint. *** "What's your name again?" I asked. "Josh Walker," he replied, looking out at the fields in front of him. *** Fights, near death accidents and cafeteria food. Archery, bush walking and extremely bad kids. This was like a jail. Scarlett has been sent to a behaviour camp by her annoying and hateful stepmother who only wants Scarlett's father to herself. So, even though Scarlett is a good teenager, and no where near as bad as the kids at the camp, she begins to find that it's not that bad of a place, even when she meets Josh Walker and spends the Summer with The Bad Boy.
