Kimberly Hill is an 18 year old girl from Oakland, raised in a conservative family, with racist values towards every race, except from hers. Her life seems rather stable, she's in a relationship, has just finished school, and it's time for her to take the next step in life, which is, supposedly, going to university, to define her future.
But her future doesn't hold what she expects. Instead of receiving an acceptance letter from Standford University, she receives one from the US army, telling her she's one in thousands of people enlisted for war.
It isn't what she expects, but it's a remarkable life experience. All of her values, and encounters she considered important, start being questioned when she meets her new partner, Lucas Sanders, who has a whole new mentality Kimberly had never heard of. It's her time to learn how life actually looks like, after growing up in a bubble designed by her family, and about the meaning of true love, based on moral standards, and deeper feelings, instead of superficial things she saw as relevant. But there are problems obstacling this affair. Will she give her pride away to obtain true love? Or will she give true love away to get pride? She doesn't know, and she's going to find out.
Arianna Taylor, you would she has it easy. Coming from the family of the well-respected Taylor's. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. To the naked eye, she seems like she lives the American dream. Wealthy family, nice things, perfect grades etc. Yet you wouldn't dare to think that same suburban girl has issues of her own. College is her escape or so she thinks. New city, new faces, new world. Will college be what she hoped for or will she be sidetracked by a feeling she never expected to feel?
Tristan Hill, star running back, stunning smile and charming personality to match. He practically rules KU's campus. All the girls want him and guys want to be him. Problem: Tristan isn't all what he portrays. One night changed Tristan's life forever, a night that still haunts him to this day. A night he will never forgive his self for. Will Tristan's past continue to haunt him or will he allow someone's compassion change him into a better man?
