Melody is a sweet, shy girl with a gruesome secret. She is repeatedly bullied by her peers, shunned by parents and she doesn't understand why , longing to know.. But when her life is spared by an anonymous killer, it was never the same.

Luke Hemmings is nothing but the typical high school punk; he is covered in tattoos, smokes and hooks up with more girls than he'd ever be able to count. Not that you cared. No, of course you didn't. You and him were like oil and water. Alcohol, however, just loves to mess with people's heads. It's its number one game. When both you and Luke find yourselves dominated by vodka and God knows what else, things change. You two find a way to get mixed into one. And defying basic rules of mixing won't leave you two with no consequences.
