Chelsea Romero is your average 16 year old. Lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, U.S. She's absolutely normal: Wakes up at noon; Severely injures herself because she 'wasn't looking'; Loves food. Oh, and she can fight. But when she's attacked at sunrise, stuck in a bizarre scenario, it's not pretty and it doesn't get pretty from there on.
And the reason for her fall: Andrew Lloyd, a demon for a step-father. He tears apart the teen from her family on a false accusation, leaving her younger sister Sabrina and her loving mother Elena defenceless and vulnerable to himself.
Unable to help them and losing all methods of contact after being punished for a distorted reason, it takes a little more than just Chelsea to find the courage and hope she once had. And the only thing keeping Chelsea from doing something terribly demented in juvie is Jae Olson.
But Chelsea Romero never stays somewhere she doesn't want to stay. . . and that's how life does a backflip and sprints from there on.
