At Ashton Academy, a prestigious boarding school perched on the cliffs of California's coast, Veronica and her three childhood friends-Emilia, Lorenzo, and Matias-face a year that will challenge their friendships, dreams, and hearts.
Veronica is a competitive ballet dancer, balancing the pressures of her parents' high expectations with her growing doubts about whether perfection is ever truly attainable. When Emilia, her closest friend and the cheer squad captain, begins dating Lorenzo, tensions rise within their tight-knit group. Lorenzo has always been at the center of Veronica's emotions-a mix of love, frustration, and longing that she's never fully admitted, not even to herself.
As secrets, jealousy, and personal struggles bubble to the surface, the four friends navigate the complexities of growing up in a world of privilege, ambition, and unspoken truths. When Matias, who transferred to a rival school, re-enters the picture, the group must decide whether the bonds they've shared since childhood are strong enough to withstand the changes life throws their way.
This is a story of resilience, heartbreak, and the messy, beautiful process of discovering who you are and what matters most. Ashton Academy may provide every luxury imaginable, but the real lessons these friends learn will come from each other.
