When forced into a new school, Hailey instantly creates tension with Nathan; a hot-headed, arrogant boy determined to stop at nothing to show her that there's more to life than pain and suffering. However, when her life begins spiraling out of control, he's the last person she'd expect to try and save her from her dark past. But will it be too late?
