Madeline's family has just split up, and she has chosen to accompany her father as he moves to Seattle. At odds with the family she left, feeling abandoned by the friends who had shut her out before she ever left, and trying to make a home with the father who is never there; this is how Maddy is set to spend the summer before her senior year. Relief comes in the form of rough-around-the-edges Adam. Though he's far from a white knight, he picks her up when she's down (literally), butts heads with her at every turn after, and inadvertently shows her that just because she's chosen to be alone doesn't mean she has to stay that way.

As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler.
