Sixteen year old Sheylinn Taylor has never had an easy life.
Her mother became a drug addict and abandoned them, leaving her and her younger sister to live with their grandmother at the tender age of seven. Their father became one of the people she most hated after an unforgettable incident that happened two years ago. Besides her family issues, Sheylinn has insecurities of her own, as she has been bullied for as long as she can remember.
Now meet Zion Mathews.
After loosing his mother and older brother in a tragic shooting, he quit the streets, getting a chance at a fresh start. He secretly worked at a tattoo shop, because of his passion for art, but mainly played basketball to please his father, who had now turned to drinking ever since the death of his first son, and beloved wife. Also, the relationship with his long distance girlfriend seemed to be going downhill by each passing day, and Zion is trying everything he can to make it work.
When the two meet at Tony's Tattoo Temple- Zion's work place, they instantly have a strong dislike for each other. Zion disliked Sheylinn's smart mouth, and closed off personality, while Sheylinn disliked Zion's somewhat arrogant and cocky attitude.
What they hoped would be their only encounter, soon turns out to be their first as the two bump into each other almost everywhere they go. But what starts off as a strong dislike towards each other turns into something a lot softer as the two soon begin to realize that they needed each other in more ways than one.
