Two is better than one. But is it really?
Mason Richards is just like any other "badboy". He smokes, he fights, and gets into any kind of trouble. But when he's at home, it's a whole different story. In fact, it's the complete opposite. He's probably the sweetest person in the world when he comes home to his baby sister, Maddie. He would do anything for her. But ever since his dad has left him with nothing but his mother and baby sister, it has been nothing but a struggle to Mason.
On the other hand, we have Michelle Brooks. Another badass. She curses, gets into trouble, steals, and even fights. But ever since her mother died from cancer, she had to move in with her abusive father who gets drunk probably 24/7. But only to have another struggle, she has a little brother, Toby. Obviously since her father is too busy being drunk all the time she has to bring home the bacon, so she fights for it.
So what happens when there are two badass in the school?
Trouble?
Hate?
Maybe even love?
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
