Cameron Elora Alvarez had spent the entirety of her life flirting with rock bottom. With no ambition or motivation, she had moved through her life without regard for herself or the future.
Unfortunately, the universe seems to have a penchant for harsh wake up calls. Within the confines of a jail cell, she finds herself making the rash and uncharacteristic decision to get her life in order.
However, no one told her it isn't as easy as it seems. With this newfound initiative, she finds herself navigating: her grief, shitty exes, family, and the elusive Raphael Cavanaugh.
Unfortunately, this is incomplete without secrecy, drama, tears, and the occasional visit to the Granite Hillside precinct.
What certainly doesn't help either is newfound feelings for Raphael Cavanaugh, who so happens to be her twin brother's sworn rival.
