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.

The two travel halfway across the country for a new beginning. Morgan never had issues making friends and here in her new home of Sunrise Lake she finds a place to fit in. She even raises the attention of two of the most popular guys in school; Levi Harmon and Ethan Marley. So far Morgan has won the hearts of most of the people around her except for Angela Holiday, who does not like the attention Morgan is getting from Levi and Ethan. As her past starts catching up with her and Angela begins digging, Morgan worries that she's going to lose all the friendships she's started building in Sunrise lake. Can one girl and Morgan's past shatter everything she's worked so hard to forget? Or will her new friends from Sunrise Lake accept her for who she is without faulting her for her father's actions.
