Beckham O'Neil has been moved from foster home to foster home, nothing in his life has been stable for him, except for his running. Everyone has him stereotyped as the quiet trouble-maker that sits in the back of the class. The only two people that are willing to give him a chance are Lacy, the nice studious girl, and Coach Westcott, who makes him join the football team.

After having his heart broken by Hailey Tucker, the player, Alex Parker transfers to a new school as far away as possible from her. Two years later, because of one horrible incident, Hailey has to move in with the Walkers. What she didn't expect was to see Alex at her new school, in her class. But this time, the tabled have turned. Hailey is the quiet girl while Alex is the player. Whoever said that senior year is an unforgettable year was definitely right.
