17 year old Elaina Thomson is invisible. She gets average grades. Wears average clothes. She is just... Average. Well that's what everyone thinks. At school she puts on a smile when she's dying inside. She uses the words "I'm fine" way to often and is using makeup and clothing to hide the bruises that her adoptive father gives her.  Every day she does the same thing: wake up, go to school, come home, do homework, try not to anger her dad, tend to her wounds, go to sleep, repeat. So what happens when football star Dylan Matthews starts noticing how see flinches when people touch her or changes the subject when her home life or family is brought up? And can Dylan tear down the walls Elaina as built or will she push him away and keep her secrets hidden forever.
