Hailee has lived with her aunt her whole life, because her parents have been in and out of jail. Though Hailee isn't the perfect angel her aunt thinks of her to be. After her aunt gets a job transfer to the south side of Chicago, Hailee meets the Gallaghers and starts spending most of her time with them, especially Carl Gallagher. Hailee starts to develop feelings, but with her aunt transferring jobs so often, she try's to hold back.

ryan is new to chicago and doesn't quite know her place in society yet. she is your typical good girl with a clean slate. but will that all change when she meets her new neighbor and town drug dealer, carl gallagher?

"you don't strike me as the bad guy, gallagher." "it seems like you've got lots of experience." "i'm tougher than i look." "i never doubted that, from what i've found out about you, i would think you were unstoppable."
