Jessica is a 12 year old girl who's managed a horrible lifestyle. The government had granted all year round schools a full 400 days off. She has no friends there, and her mom pays the bills in the house by selling her body from inside of her home. But one day, her mother picks up a man who lives a double life, and has children already. He appears sweet on the outside, and violent on the inside. When Jessica kills the man, Jessica is forced to live with the man's family for a whole year to do community service in the area where he lived. This family is rich and wealthy, but she has to figure out a way to manage with his 17, 15, 14, and 13 year old children. And his children, are not interested in making her feel welcome.

Bad boy, good girl, cliche happily ever after ending right? Well, not with Melissa and Jionni. One boy is free to do whatever he wants, while the other is sheltered and has her every move watched by her parents. At Baton Rouge High School, "hood boy" Jionni and his friends aren't too fond of the only girl in school who has money, referring to her as a "silver spoon child." But after Jionni has a change of heart, he and the rich girl decides to keep it a secret that they hang out on a regular. After hanging out for some time, the two starts to find interests in things that they never bothered with before. Once their friends and family start to wonder why they're changing and acting out of character, they start to do their own secret investigation to find out what's REALLY happening with the two. It all goes down in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. ;)
