Sam has a barely functional family and has trouble letting people in. Why would he? People always disappoint. But when he meets his new neighbour, Sierra, he can't shake the feeling that they're connected by something stronger than he's ever felt.
Sierra has a new foster family. Again. They say they're in it for the long haul, but she's heard it all before. "Don't get attached," she tells herself. That's what makes it hurt more. But when she meets Sam, she can't let him go.
