Ever Hills is your average teenager.
Only, she's also not. Ever was one of the most famous dancers in the world, not to mention one of the youngest.
She moved from a prestigious school of dance and music, to the middle of nowhere, where she was no one. Her dad died in a car accident, and her mum left them to be with Ever's jerk step dad. Now she and her twin brother, Mark, are starting a new life. One with no paparazzi.
One where they were free to do what they wanted...
Then there's Nathaniel Johnson, who is determined to get her attention, because she turned him down once.
So what happens when Jake Waters comes into the picture?
Again.
