After the death of her parents, Aria Bird has no family and nowhere to go. She is forced to move in with alcoholic and abusive foster parents, Bentley and Helena Greene. Aria undergoes mental, physical, and sexual abuse in her foster home, and her mental and physical health deteriorate beyond repair. That is until her parent's lawyer shows up at her dusty driveway at the trailer park with news that could change her life forever. 

Not only does Aria have to mourn the death of her parents, but she also endeavors to keep her abusive home life separate from her friends, who knew her as a happy, carefree, and outgoing girl up until her parents' death. 
To make matters more difficult, Aria is trapped in a two-year-long relationship with her toxic boyfriend, Apollo Peck. Aria wants an escape from her messed-up life in the town that holds too many memories of her parents and the past life that she no longer has. The countdown is on for her 18th birthday, which is only two weeks away, but things get more complicated when a new guy, Axel Santiago, arrives in town with a similar background to Aria. While Axel seems perfect on the surface, he holds a dark secret that could betray Aria's trust forever.
