"You didn't just house me when you took me in, Angel. You became my haven."

When 18 year old Yvonne di Rhodes met the troubled bassist and soccer player, Calum Hood, she knew her life was about to change. What she didn't know was how much it would change, exactly.
She didn't expect to start hanging out with the type of company that Calum kept. She certainly didn't expect to begin syncing the concerning habits Calum had introduced her to. God, she didn't even expect to start liking his music.
But the thing she'd least expected was that he would share her home only days after meeting.
You'd think she'd learn to expect the unexpected.

In the outskirts of Sydney, Yvonne feels like she has nothing going for her. Her parents aren't around, her uncle is in hospital, and her last year of high school is coming to an end. She doesn't know what to do with her life.
Calum Hood is many things. A soccer player, a bassist, a bad boy of sorts... many things indeed, but the idea of being homeless at 19 wasn't something he expected to add to that list.
As Yvonne struggles with the idea of the future, and branching out, Calum finds himself battling with his own identity when it becomes clear that he will have to choose between his two passions - the band, and soccer.
Their friends think they've found the perfect solution for their housing dilemmas: Calum should move in with Yvonne.

Calum Hood was the stereotypical jock in high school. He was the star of the football team and basketball team. The majority of his old classmates loved him, envied him, or wanted to be him. Now that he was at the University of Melbourne on a football scholarship, he was hoping to reach that status yet again. He wasn't going to university for the classes and academics; he was going to pursue his career in football. He wasn't a lame geek that was going to spend his weekends studying and doing boring homework that wouldn't benefit him. He wasn't going to let those nerds annoy him with their smarts either like he did in high school. Not to mention that he was a full-blooded frat boy. Classes and grades and nerds weren't about to get in his way of that.
Ashton Irwin was considered a nerdy hipster. He was more into the arts and academics of things, his strong suit being English and art history. Not only that, but he had a passion for music as well. He was a talented singer that helped get him a full ride scholarship to the University of Melbourne, along with his exceptional knowledge in English. Though, he wasn't at all popular in high school. He was quite the opposite and he was okay with it. He didn't want to be popular and have his every move analyzed. It also meant that he would've had to hangout with the jocks, who he didn't like at all. Now, due to his uni class schedule, he would be free of the majority of the jocks and hopefully frat boys. They were bullies and he didn't want to have to be associated with any of them. He would make sure of that.
But, despite what Ashton and Calum think, life isn't fair sometimes and you have to live with the hand you're dealt. Literally.
