Toby was brought up to be a soldier, regimented life is all he's known, living on base or out in action with his troop. His life has been full of guns, threats and sadness.
Christina is a girl over 3500 miles away in her final year of school. All she has to worry about is making grades and what shes going to cook for dinner.
So when a strange new boy arrives at her school who doesn't seem to understand how to be a teenager she just gives him a strange look and ignores him. But when this strange new boy doesn't leave her alone, her world is thrown into chaos.
Will Toby be able to complete his 'simple' mission, or will he end up failing at protecting his first charge.
And, after all that, whats so special about her anyway?
