Jessica is a 12 year old girl who's managed a horrible lifestyle. The government had granted all year round schools a full 400 days off. She has no friends there, and her mom pays the bills in the house by selling her body from inside of her home. But one day, her mother picks up a man who lives a double life, and has children already. He appears sweet on the outside, and violent on the inside. When Jessica kills the man, Jessica is forced to live with the man's family for a whole year to do community service in the area where he lived. This family is rich and wealthy, but she has to figure out a way to manage with his 17, 15, 14, and 13 year old children. And his children, are not interested in making her feel welcome.
My name is Jessica. Jessica Laylee. I'm nothing special. I'm not that "cool kid" you see around school with a ton of friends. I'm not hated by everyone, either.
I'm a nobody. Nothing more to it. Always have been, and always will be.

He lives a double life, showing nothing but his ego.
All they wanted was a reason to live.
The last thing she wanted was for her heart to burn. It was all that made it out safe.
