A Senior girl, Linda, was put into a new school just after moving to Texas because of her father's disappearance. And her mother has been on the verge of a break down, clinging to her faith in God. Linda is now constantly afraid that her mother will discover her secret. Her Family is strict Catholics, her brothers are violent, and all her mother does is look the other way. She struggles with popularity and home life when she runs into a strange girl with a completely different story.
Silvia was a girl that came from a divorced family, and her father had full custody of her and her sister. Though it is not common for the father to have full custody at this time, her mother was claimed to be insain and not fit to have the children. Her father was violent towards her younger sister, Grace, but they just argued when it came to her. She hopes that her mother remembers her enough to fight for custody of them no matter what. It's better than watching her sister getting abused by the person supposed to protect her. One day, when she was trying to skip class, she ran into a skittish, nervous girl who couldn't get a break. The most interesting girl she has ever seen.
Together they wonder what will happen to the secret they fight to keep. If they fall in love, will they be safe?
