For Riley Adams life is just one pain after another.
Her parents fight, all the time, and don't mind broadcasting their problems to the whole neighbourhood.
But when she finds out she has to move in the middle of her school year, her life gets turned upside down.
Starting out a whole new life will be a challenge for Riley, and she doesn't know if she will be able to handle it.
But when she meets Dane Hudson she may find that Colby Bay may not be so bad after all.
But then again, it could be as bad as she expected.
