𝙆𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙧 is desperate for a way out. With three younger siblings relying on him and an abusive father haunting their home, his dream of making it big in basketball is more than just ambition-it's survival. It's his chance to break free and take them far from the darkness that's consumed their lives.

𝙃𝙖𝙯𝙚𝙡 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧 is determined to be perfect. She pressures herself to be the smartest in the room while trying to live up to her family's prestigious name. From the outside, it seems like she has everything-a perfect life, endless opportunities. But inside, she's unravelling, consumed by the fear that no matter how much she achieves, it will never be enough.

They hate each other

He's a scholarship kid from the Southside
She's the daughter of a billionaire
They have nothing in common
until they do
