"We are merely the stars' tennis-balls, struck and bandied which way please them."- John Webster Olivia is an ambitious teen with a heart for adventure, but her parents are not so ambitious. She is always forced into going to boring events that her parents say are adult events, but they won't allow to do something Olivia considers adult-like. She always feels she has to be a kid or an adult depending on what her parents want, but never what she wants. When she finally gets them to follow her instinct, Olivia is eager to begin her adventure. Though the people she meets and the people she thinks she knows hold secrets deep inside. She finds how people can be hard to read, and she doesn't quite know what to do except find tranquility and a place to take out her feelings-the tennis court.
