After his dad's sudden death, Sergio is forced to leave behind his home in Connecticut and move to Wisconsin, into the care of an uncle whose home hides painful secrets.

But when Amory Hartmann, the new boy in town, catches his attention, he discovers that the answers to those questions may be more complicated than he had anticipated. ...... After the passing of his best friend, Apollo is left in an unfamiliar world, or perhaps one he never understood. Swimming, friends, and family. That was Apollo's universe. Until one day it wasn't. His friends expect too much, his parents don't talk enough, and swimming feels wrong. It only took one day for his life to change. Isn't the world supposed to stop when the person closest to you is gone? That's what he believed. But when the realities of growing up as a Mexican-American teenager hurdle towards him, he must accept the simple fact that life goes on. This becomes abundantly clear when Amory Hartmann enters his life, forcing Apollo to face the parts of himself he intended to keep hidden. Pieces of himself he's been too afraid to share with a boy. Will Apollo learn to leave the past behind him and move towards the future, or will his demons keep dragging him back to the darkest point of his life?

María Villa Andino was once the living example of one who chased her dreams. She was blessed with supportive and caring parents, amazing friends, and a life that one can only wish to have. Her father is, or was, of Spanish descent and her mother an American-born Hispanic. Learning to speak fluent Spanish and English, she grew up to be a beautiful and intelligent young woman. With exceptional fútbol talent and amazing grades, she had an athletic scholarship pretty much in the bag by only her sophomore year in high school. She was onto great things...until December 2, 2015. That day, at the age of 17, her whole world turned upside down. She then moved from San Bernardino to Los Angeles, California to stay with the only relative she had in the U.S. -her father's mother- where she managed to finish high school and would eventually decline her full-ride scholarship to UCLA. She did the one thing she never thought she would do: give up on everything she had worked for, for a different path in life. However, when things suddenly take a turn for the worst for the second time in her life, she's forced to leave that world behind as well and start from scratch once again. The only question is: will she find enough strength to keep fighting or will she throw in the towel for good this time?
