*UNEDITED*
Natasha Pierce is no mere conformist. She's a street racer, clad in leather, exuding an aura of pure rebellion. She is a force to be reckoned with, a woman who refuses to be defined by the imposing shadow of her self-made, powerhouse of a Mother.
While her mother may have tolerated her wild ways for a time, the consequences of one fateful illegal race proved the breaking point. This unlucky fate leads her to an encounter she never anticipated: a whole summer with a mystery man and his family. A clash of worlds ensues as Nat confronts the children of the mystery man. Her unruly energy threatens to set the entire house ablaze, yet her hosts are prepared for anything.
They devise a plan to bring the family and Natasha together and diffuse the tension. A boat trip is set into motion, seemingly innocuous at first, but little do they know that fate has an altogether different adventure in store.
