Alice had everything: a loving mother, a full ride to the college of her dreams, and a bright future full of options and choices. Then, in an instant, everything changed, and it is all taken away from her. Caught between life and death, and uncertain future and an even more uncertain past, Alice must learn that everything is not always what it seems; something she learns from the five boys that unexpectedly come into her life. As she travels through life's burdensome journey, she is faced with many obstacles--getting over her mother's death, choosing between the one she loves and the one she can't, but most of all, risking the lives of the ones she's come to love, or her own certain death.
