Emerald King has moved almost her entire life. Making herself at home in different places, 22 to be exact, along with her mother is all she's known. Her last move was good.
Until her bad luck caught up to her. Mix in a tragedy that rocks her world, she's packing her boxes to her 23rd location: her small Texas hometown. 

Never expecting to come back to her roots, she has to come to terms with her past and everything that has changed back at home. Familiar and new faces come into play for her new journey, but Emerald knows she has a lot of work to do on herself. What she doesn't expect is her bad luck to push her into trouble with the golden boy, Ollie Hastings. 

Emerald's journey in her latest move and last year of high school have a lot in store that doesn't disappoint, but leads to one question: How many moves will it take for her life to move forward?
