Cindy Mae started life in a less than ideal home. Abused by her parents she was taken away and placed in an equally abusive foster home, where she meets the love of her life and things finally start looking up for Cindy Mae.
Rose runs away from her abusive foster home and gets taken into a much nicer, kinder foster home. All this kindness is foreign to her and temporarily. She refuses to speak a word about her past abusive foster parents, terrified that they will just take her back and all the running will be for nothing. The only person who seems to understand her and be there for her is her first friend, Alec. Handsome, smoking, bike riding, smart mouth Alec. He's rude and a bad boy.
