Willow Rayne wants to leave her home and parents behind, a tormented past that shaped her and set her convictions in stone: life isn't a fairy-tale, most of the times it isn't even happy or fair.
She gets on a bus in hopes of leaving everything that made her miserable as far as she can, returning to the small town where she spent most of her childhood with her aunt and cousin before her parents dragged her to a city on the other side of the country.
But Willow soon finds herself in what seems to be a never-ending roller coaster, realizing maybe not soon enough, that no matter how fast you run our past is always able to catch up with us.
