Harmony Waters has grown up in the big city of Atlanta, surrounded by diverse streets, malls, stores, and schools filled with different people from all corners of the world. But when her family has to relocate to a small, rural town in the outskirts of the big city, she experiences a rude awakening about some of the people in this world. Will she survive in a place that hates her for the color of her skin, or will things take a turn for the worst?
Alexander Grayson has grown up in this town, but has always been a town outcast because his love of "urban" things doesn't match the likings of a place that hates anything "different". With only alcohol and sex used to cope with his abusive father, what might happen to Alex when he falls for Harmony? A black girl with wild hair, a beautiful personality, and a strong mind who the entire town will give anything to kill
