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.

Rae Evans never planned on being locked up for murder, nor did she plan on being one of the first people to return to the Earth after the apocalypse 97 years before. She finds herself stuck in a camp with 99 other criminals and a bad tempered fake guard named Bellamy Blake. With a strong backbone, a messed up back story, a knack of getting into all sorts of trouble but always with a smile on her face, it turns out not planning ahead was one of the best things Rae could do.
