Alicia Strafford lives in a small house with her over protective step father, drunken mother, and her three older brothers who don't know the meaning of the word nice but one night, when she's looking for her cat she meets a young man but he isn't what he seems but Alicia doesn't know. Alicia starts to fall for him but what happens when you find out a secret that could break your heart and ruin your life? Alicia doesn't know, how is she supposed to push past the line of betrayal? Lust? And hatred? Can she love him for who he is or hate him for what he's done?
