For months Summer is trapped in a cellar with the man who took her - and three other girls: Rose, Poppy, and Violet. His perfect, pure flowers. His family. But flowers can't survive long cut off from the sun, and time is running out...

Charles Davenport is the brightest star at the elite Newbridge High School. He has good looks, brains and is the captain of the football team. It's his last year in high school, and together with his friends - the sweethearted and devout Debbie and Henry the nerdy art genius - he's determined it's going to be his best year yet. But Charles's rogue brother, King, is back - which means trouble can't be far behind. Then there's Elena, the beautiful and mysterious new girl in class who seems to have no time for boys. And when Charles's mother falls ill, he realizes that things are about to change - and not necessarily in a good way. Can the smooth and confident Charles handle this tumultuous final year, or will it be too much even for him?
