Piper Halloway was (wrongly) convicted of murdering her abusive father when she was thirteen years old. Four years later, she is given a second chance when she is brought back to New York to have her trial as an official adult a week before her eighteenth birthday. After hiring her parole officer (who happened to also be her arresting officer four years ago) to help her investigate, they find that Piper might not be as criminal as everyone assumes--or is she?

But now I'm ready to make my presence know, and when I do...all hell will break loose. Hold on tight. It's going to be a wild ride.
