Fifty years ago Jimmy Kuchar led a revolution. He had imagined a fair world for everyone, one in which no one was allowed to slip through the cracks. The revolution succeeded, but now all that remains of his legacy is a fractured nation and a family fallen into obscurity. His home, Hale City, is controlled by warring two factions: a corrupt, overreaching government, and the Shine, a powerful mob ruled by an infamous gangster. The city is in turmoil, its soul up for grabs.
Marion Kuchar-Ross doesn’t care about politics. She’s an indentured servant at the Academy, a school for the children of Hale’s elite. With sixteen years left on her contract and nothing to look forward to but a short jaunt into the city every Sunday, she leads a small life. Then she meets John. John is handsome, impossibly popular, and wealthy. He’s also entirely off-limits.
John wants more than friendship from Marion, and he doesn't care that the Academy stands in their way. All he has to do is convince her he's a good man (or at least not an evil one) and get her to trust him with her freedom. He's up to the challenge, if his secrets don’t tear them apart first.
Their friendship has drawn the attention of Edward Sebok, Hale's despotic police commissioner. Sebok has a grudge against John, and Marion is the perfect way to get even. Marion soon finds herself caught in a vicious battle between the two most powerful men in the city. It's war, and it's her future at stake…

He doesn't know how much he's breaking my heart right now. "Trinity, I don't know how to show you how much sorry I am." He states, rubbing his face with his hand in frustration. "You can't, your 'sorry' doesn't changed what happened." I point to my face, where the bandage is. "This could have been prevented but you didn't even move a muscle to come and save me." "Trinity, if I did that it could have ruined my plans." He says, lowly. "It doesn't matter. If you truly love me like you say you do, you wouldn't have hesitated to come save me. I was so scared Aaron, I thought I was going to die." I respond, tears spilling before I can stop them. "I do love you Trin, I love you so fucking much." He states, clutching his shirt where his heart is. "Not like the way I love you Aaron. If you were in the position I was in, I wouldn't have fucking hesitated to come save you.
