"Promises, promises...that's all we ever do.."
Iris Mitchell. Carefree and cruising through life as best she can despite the usual troubles of high school.
Yet, of course, the worst comes to worse and life decides to take away one of her main sources of happiness.
Her own father.
With no other relatives to move in with, Iris is left to move in with her father's close family friend whose name happened to be written down as their first emergency contact.
Sasha Sullivan - Who just happened to be the mother of her most hated schoolmate, Oliver Sullivan.
He was an arrogant prick.
But there's always more to a person, isn't there?
Maybe living with him, she'll find out the truth and grow closer to this so called 'arrogant prick'. Maybe they'll just so happen to get through troubled times together.
