17 year old Reese Wilson is one of the top students of her grade, with all A's in her classes, but there's another kid who always competes with her, for as long as the both could remember. Caleb Peters, whose father is the mayor of the capital city of Shantanago. However, Reese's father has influence as well. Philip Wilson is the inventor of the flying car, making the Wilson family one of the richest families in the country of Shantanago. After Reese's mother Kyra died tragically in a car accident, Philip was inspired to make transportation easier and safer. With the HeliCar, Shantanago became the perfect country as it sparked a revolution of new inventions helping to make the world a better place. There is one imperfection that the country contains, an incredibly famous terrorist known as KPW. Philip Wilson, while under the cover of dark and a mask, terrorizes politicians and destroys their public works. Reese has known about this side of her father for a long time, and supports it, as she has knowledge about the government that very few people know about. One day, teenage boy Caleb Peters gains priceless knowledge about KPW's hideout, and decides to investigate. While searching the space below the Wilson mansion that Philip uses as his inventors and planning cave, the boy is caught by the man himself, without the infamous mask on. The only option for Caleb to not be killed is for all of his memory to be wiped, which as much as Reese hates Caleb, she won't let that happen. She will have to convince her father that Caleb is her boyfriend, and to leave him with his memory. The two of them will have to be incredibly convincing, so maybe this fake relationship will escalate to something else, given time.
