Haven Fells is a girl that is running and hiding from something, someone. After her father received a very honorable raise at a law firm in Beverly Hills, Haven moves from her home, the best and the scariest place she could've been stuck in. Thankfully, she needed to get out of the city, because her past was seemingly able to itch its way back into the present. With avoiding and ducking her way through school, she meets two people, her past and her future, both with the ability to make her, or break her. Jason, her past, has found himself in Beverly Hills, with the motivation of revenge. Damian, her future, who has found himself falling in love with her. With everything happening so fast, its life or death.
And it could mean for her, or it could mean for someone so close and dear to her.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
