Ever since Austin Chanler was young, the NBA has been his dream. The one thing he's wanted for himself. Now a 19 year old sophomore, eligible for an academy one step away from his goal, he doesn't expect all that comes with it. Starting at a new school and required to move to a small town called Wayarke, he's reunited with his abusive dad, who he's living with this school year, bringing back his grumpy demeanor. Never as grumpy as Akia Rainsong-- his half sister's "sweet" best friend-- the girl nice to everyone but him. When the two clash, a bundle of misunderstandings and banter, the forced proximity between them ignites a fire they both see in each other-- twin flames. Both tainted with secret bruises and angry lies, their story is about being reminded that you can never truly escape from a tragic past until you heal from it. Together.
