**WARNING: This is a ROUGH draft. Translated into non-writer lingo: this will probably suck. A lot. 

When their mother dies in a tragic and unexpected fire, pyrophobic (fears fires) eighteen-year-old Eden and mature fourteen-year-old Brooke pick up sticks and move to the small town of Kingston, where no one knows their names. Soon, Eden gets a job at the local diner to support her and her sister, and they're better off than they'd ever expected. 

Jo's dad owns half of the properties in Kingston, makes good money, but refuses to let his eighteen-year-old son mooch off of him. Instead, he gets Jo a job at his best friend's,Tony's, diner. With Jo having pyromania (an obsessive desire to light things on fire) it's all he can do not to burn the place down. 

Eden thinks that no one knows her name, but Jo always thought it had a familiar ring to it. He never mentions this to her as they become closer and closer, until one day, it rips them apart.All Rights Reserved
