Angelina is a hottie. No doubt. She's beautiful, talented, smart and gets drooled after by all the boys, gets triple glances, but she is careful, she doesn't take shit from no one. Not your typical good girl, right?
Meanwhile, she has a crush on this boy, who is remarkably talented, who plays piano, is handsome and should I say anymore? I mean, what else could you ask for? She decides to move to his school not only for a fresh start for herself but also to get to know him better, since falling for him after a piano competition. And in that same competition she meets her new arch nemesis: Courtney Delaney.
So it is normal for Angelina to spend her afternoons at school playing her piano and writing songs. Until one day, she hears someone playing their heart and soul out and for the first time, it's not her but...Brad Hunter-the school's bad boy and Baseball star.
Someone she definitely was not expecting to play piano, let alone have extreme musical talent. But why the bad boy keeps this extraordinary talent a secret will keep you guessing and will horrify Angelina. So as she discovers the bad boy's secret....he also discovers hers.
Get ready for a twist.
