Sophie Aronld is following in the footsteps of her mother as a forensic scientist at the crime lab in Las Vegas, Navda. Most of her free time as a kid was spent at the crime lab's break room, where she would listen in on different cases, trying to figure it out without the help of any labs and tests. She would also ask her mom several questions about different types of murder weapons that would scare most people. With the job comes Greg Sanders, a childish, yet charming person that catches the young CSI's eye. She knows the rules about dating and she's determined to follow them, but, she's automatically drawn to him, even before she knew everything about him, so what would happen when she does get to know him?

This is the sequel (continuation) of After. Hardin and Tessa's relationship will be tested in ways she never expected, but he knew of all along.
