Viviana Falcone's whole life has been a lie.
Having been told by her mother that she was the byproduct of a hookup for most of her life, Viviana is raised as an only child for most of her life.
Where her mother had failed to raise her, neighbors and close friends step in, raising the girl from a toddler to sixteen.
In a bid to get out of the hellhole that's her home, Viviana applies to the odd job here and there, and puts her nose in the books. She gets a scholarship into a prestigious private high school, and now as a junior she's so, so close to escaping.
Until, the accident.
After her mother dies, Viviana is thrown into foster care. Though no one really wants to foster a seventeen year old, she keeps her head up with the thought that she'll be out within a few months.
Except, fate has different plans in mind.
Two weeks after the fact, Viviana is placed into a home once it's been proven they're her family. Family she never knew she had, and to top it off, there's another set claiming to be her family.
What ensues is paternal, familial, and illegal drama, and Viviana isn't quite sure how it got to this point. From one hellhole to another. As her family drags her deeper and deeper into a world of crime, she isn't sure if she'll be able to make it out this time.
As her window time of a few months to eighteen draws closer, Viviana wonders if she'll ever be able to escape this.
