Riley's mother was killed the night before she turned three. She was put into foster care and now lives with an alcohol-addicted father. She practically lives with a monster. She tends to sleep in the local library or the school so that she doesn't have to deal with her foster father. 

       A new kid shows up in school, Max, and just about every girl is head over heels for him, and the only girl he has eyes for is Riley. Though Max's older brother, Octavius, has stolen Riley before Max could ever get to her.

       She finds her mother's killer and things don't end very well, for her or anyone. She pushes people away. Octavius gets her out of her funk eventually. He proposes to her and soon after he is drafted for a war going on overseas. A year passes and Octavius is listed as Killed in Action.

       Riley soon moves on from her past and marries Max and has two children. Five yours pass and Octavius returns home to find the love of his life has moved on. Death soon became inevitable for both of them.
