"Where you come from is where you'll go, and everywhere else is a detour."

Those were some of the last words McKayla's mother ever spoke to her. They got stuck in her head, no matter how hard she tried to shake them loose. So when she finally manages to escape her life in Uppers, McKayla can't help but doubt that anything will change.

Especially because she only has three months- one summer- to prove that her mother's death wasn't an accident. And she's already wasted three weeks. With so little time, McKayla doesn't have any time for distractions. Which is why Jack, the fearless, handsome boy from the food court, wasn't supposed to get involved. He was just a distraction. Too much of a risk.

It's also why she's been avoiding her past. Unfortunately, her past won't forget about her.

And eventually, where she came from will come for her.
