Elenora is going into her senior year, nervous that not quit everything is going to plan. Her whole family seems to be doctors, so she's got a lot to live up to and is desperately trying to make her mark in the world. The only problem is that her brother's secret life might wreck it before she can even turn eighteen.
Desmonds's step-dad moves the family around a lot for his job, yet everyone is in the dark but Desmond as to what his father really does. He's willing to forget the trouble his step-father always brings around if it means staying in one spot for more than a couple months. That is if his own bad-boy reputation doesn't get him into trouble first.
There is trouble stirring though, and finishing senior year is quickly forgotten when Elenora's older brother is found beaten to an inch of his life. He owes some money and it seems Desmond might not be able to push his step-fathers shady business under the rug if he wants to keep Elenora from being sold in exchange for her brother's debts.
