Homecoming is one of the most crucial parts of anyone's high school experience. In honor of her late mother, Willow decides to put together the annual Homecoming Decade Dance at LaValley High. However, in the week leading up to the homecoming dance, Willow tries to help and guide each of her six friends as they find themselves in a number of dilemmas.
On Sunday, she finally kisses the boy she's been crushing on, Sheldon. Sheldon is one of Willow's closest friends but is it possible for them to be more than that?
Monday, she deals with her most aggressive friend, Matthew. When Willow confronts him about his cruel and obnoxious character, she discovers something about him even he doesn't want to acknowledge.
On Tuesday, Terri needs help navigating her feelings toward Flynn after they spend a night together. But, Flynn is known for being with a lot of girls. Can Flynn and Terri make it as a strong couple?
Thursday, Willow discovers Terri's twin brother, Tony, has been taking steroids along with other members of the football team. Worried about his future, Willow quickly makes it her mission to help him see the wrong in his actions.
On Friday, Willow has a conversation with Flynn hours before him and Terri get together that night. During their conversation, Willow concludes that Flynn might have feelings for a certain someone that he's been suppressing.
Saturday, Willow spends the day with Savannah and learns that she pretty much lives as a reject to her parents who shun her for embracing a new culture.
On top of being there for her friends, Willow struggles with moving on from her mother's death. She needs the homecoming dance to be a success for her mom. At the same time, she needs to make sure she's there for her friends. How can she possibly handle all of this in the span of a week; in only 10,080 minutes? She'll have to take each at a time.
She's a little rabbit amidst a pack of hungry wolves. A prey amidst a pack of predators. A flickering light amidst a jungle of darkness.
Her kindness is her vulnerability, a soft heartbeat in the face of merciless, sharp fangs. Yet, in the midst of this peril, there's a quiet strength, a glimmer of innocence that refuses to be extinguished. She may be small, but they aren't the only ones with secrets.
How does one go from being a normal 15 year old with the best family she could ask for to being the unknown daughter of a billionaire?
From skipping through life like its a path of roses to finding danger in every breath she takes?
From dancing to baby shark as she walked home to playing video games in a private jet?
Ask anyone, they would say she is a combination of water and fire. A shimmering river that will flow in whichever way you direct her and also a blubbering stumbling fool that might or might not burn down a building if left unsupervised. In her defense the ground is 'madly in love with her' and danger is a 'clingy ex'.
Welcome to the life of Palak; a carefree overthinker, a sensitive rock, a withering laughing fool. She doesn't break, but she sure as hell is covered in bruises.
This is Palak. An oblivious Mafia Princess. The Bubbly Heiress of Chaos.
Will she be able to keep her smile or will she end up loosing it forever?
