The year is 1968, a period of political upheaval and devastating assassinations. As the conflict in Vietnam intensifies and the space race reaches its climax, the world braces for the possibility of nuclear war. Amidst this chaos, 16-year-old Josie Thompson of Cape Canaveral, Florida, dreams of working for NASA. She's a bit of a geek, knowing everything from sub-orbital trajectories to the fuel burn rate of the Saturn 1B. But with a father who is gone, a mom struggling to make ends meet, and a brother throwing away his future for his family and his nation, Josie doubts her dream can survive. One nation ripping itself apart. One family struggling to hold itself together. One girl reaching for the stars. All Rights Reserved.

"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes. I lean into him, our lips not even an inch apart. "Sophia we shouldn't..." He looks hesitant. "Please, I need you." I almost started crying. "Please." I mutter one more time, my eyes begging for him. My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez. Newly single after being dumped by his girlfriend of two years. After losing his dad in a car accident he's fallen apart. The list of people he trusts is short, he hates letting people in. He's constantly trying to make up for his mistakes of the past, trying to find a new purpose in life. When the two of them collided, they instantly took a mutual disliking to each other. Misunderstandings and a dash of alcohol set a flame between them. Sophia hates the snarky remarks and stupid nicknames that leave his mouth. Carter thinks Sophia is just another trust fund brat. Soon their rivalry begins to dissolve and they learn that sharing the pain of their past can form connections they never thought to be possible.
