So when her parents tell her that they have to leave her home in New York City to go to Los Angeles, she doesn't take it well. She never wanted to move or change or do anything new with her life. She just wanted to spend every day in her favorite place and write, read or play her music. When she arrives at Los Angeles and meets Brandon Davis - her next door neighbor - at the beach, she immediately dislikes him. But he seems to do anything he can to break Ariana's walls down. Being set on being alone and having a place of her own, Ariana's mission is to find a secret place that only she knows, just like in New York.
