Arden and Nanook Lachowski's parents owed a long dated debt to a tribe of natives living on a reserve near their home, a small collection of them being delinquents and scourges of the law. After their mysterious passing, their debt was passed on to their two sons. Instead of attending college, Nanook is trapped in a double life; caring for his younger brother who still needs to get through school, and doing dirty work for the natives. Meanwhile, Arden struggles to cope with the constant danger of the natives, and distracts himself by befriending as many people as possible. The last person on his list is Angie Arlington, a self-isolated enigma addicted to sword fighting and hating the world. The only person Angie would ever be comfortable talking to is Leilani Misora, an adorable sweetie with a big heart and desire to make the people around her happy. His fierce determination to get Angie to open up gets him into a lot of trouble, but little does he know, it's also an opportunity for him and his brother to finally be freed from their debts.

But her dreams of a perfect GPA shatter when her biology teacher decides studying won't be enough to pass his class. Enter Tom, a mysterious DJ who knows everything there is to know on the subject. And as an added bonus, he offers to tutor Angie for free. If only he wouldn't be so much fun and so damn good looking. Tom didn't know he had a generous bone in his body, and yet he offered one of his few free afternoons to a total stranger. One he's getting much too attached to after his recent brush with lost love and drama. There's just something about her, a mystery he needs to unravel that goes beyond her beauty. And it's deeply seeded in her refusal to relax around him or anyone else. The closer they come to each other, the more complicated their lives get. And when the truth finally comes out, all hell breaks loose. After all, it was nothing but a wrong impression. 🔱🔱🔱 Warning: This is frustrating poor people bad romance.
