With her blue hair, punky style and unladylike attitude, Rose Taylor knows that she is the black sheep of the family. But it doesn't matter because in 22 months she'll be leaving the small town of Fair Haven behind for the big city, London. Until then she's going to live it up with best friends, Noah Hayes and Lani Stevens.
Sam Miller has everything a guy could ask for; he's popular, captain of the football team and has a gorgeous girlfriend. Things couldn't get any better. But Sam's perfect life is snatched away when he is tragically killed in a car accident.
A year later, Fair Haven remembers the happy, talented and funny teen until he turns up the next day fit and healthy... and cloned. The Ringers original purpose was to spare soldiers from dying in wars, clones that fought in place of their Originals, but things developed from there; the Ringers began to take the place of people who had died of unnatural causes. A lot of people didn't like that.
Sam's life becomes a nightmare as his life-long friends turn on him and he catches the attention of the school psychos, Jason and Alex. Rose feels sorry for Sam. She knows what it's like to be unwanted, unaccepted. When the two are paired together for a project they begin to peel away the layers, seeing each other who they are and not what they portray, and realise they both of them just want to be accepted. As their friendship blossoms into something more Rose must learn to let down her walls and Sam must try to protect her, because things are getting dangerous in Fair Haven. Someone in town is taking their prejudice too far and their willing to do anything to get rid of Sam...
