For Jessalyn and her mom, moving to the small town of Avondale, California seemed like the perfect decision; they wanted the new scenery but what they really needed was a new start. Jessalyn Hartley had always been shy and one to keep to herself, but now, as she enters her final year of high school at Crestview High, she's more determined than ever to stay hidden in the shadows. However, all of that may change when she crosses paths with the supposed bad boy; Cason Michaels, and figures out that maybe she just had to meet the right person to break her out of her shell.

Hailie Adams left 3 years ago to travel around europe for a school photography program. When she left, she left a lot of things and people behind. But most importantly she left her best fried Aiden Grey. Aiden and hailie have been best friends ever since she could remember, the two were inseparable so when she left it was hard on both of them.  3 years later hailie comes home expecting to see aiden waiting for her with bog open arms & everything to be just like normal but boy was she wrong. Nothing was like she left it. Aiden was sent to juvie, and now is known as the bad boy. He wants nothing to do with hailie and keeps pushing her away. The town is filled with secrets, lies and judgements, but hailie doesn't care what aiden or anyone says she was on a mission to save her best friend no matter what she had to do. Little does he know on this mission shes going to discover feelings that she never knew were there for her once best friend who only wants hailie to leave him alone. Does hailie take the abuse and hurt from Aiden or does she just give up and accept that he changed?
