Now imagine the jerks that pick on you for being different. That is what life if like for 17 year old Holly Summers. Although Holly is blind, that doesn't stop her feisty attitude from jumping out sometimes. Holly has 2 siblings, her twin sister Abby and her older, overprotective brother Erik. Abby is a cheerleader, very peppy and fun-loving while Holly is more artistic and studious. The twins have always been completely opposite of each other, but they're still very much the same. And Erik, the quarterback on the football team and straight B student. Erik is always easy going and laid back, that is until you mess with his sister.
Now meet Adrian Valentino. He's the school bad ass with a family of mobsters. Everything Adrian does wrong is praised by his father, the right hand man of the King, running the US italian mob here in the states for him. Since Adrian's only other sibling is a 13 year old girl, he's the next in line to inherit his father's 'business' as they jokingly call it. Adrian never had a problem with that until now.
So what happens when Adrain meets Holly?
