Best friends with Hayden Gabriel, Adam Daniels, and Laurie and Carter Cameron, Lydia has always never drifted from her childhood friends. Maybe out of fear of loss or fear of change, she's never felt the need to make any new friends.
When Lydia is suddenly pushed close to Tyson Flynn, the blonde boy whose name is always associated with the word trouble, she struggles to retain her relationship with old friends as she meets new people and new opportunities arise.
Through death, through change, through loss, and through confessions of love, this group of teenagers grow closer than ever and realize that sometimes in life, things aren't as they seem, and change, trust, and communication need to be embraced in order to move on in life.
