When it comes to surviving high school and dealing with the past, Jesse Cullen knows that he's better off running away and leaving everything he knows behind. With his best friend Harvey at his side, things are at least bearable. But Jesse knows that he's drowning. It's just a matter of when.
That is, until he meets Sam.
Mischievous, sarcastic, and utterly reckless, Sam is everything that Jesse doesn't need in his life. She reminds him of the day where things started falling apart for him, and there's something about her that doesn't sit well with him. They strike a deal together, one that could end up either saving or destroying the both of them. But what choice does he have?
Time for Jesse is running out, and soon he'll be out of options.
