When Ryan moves back in with her religious mother to escape her wicked step-mother, she thinks that things will be the same as they were the last time she was there. School during the day, work in the afternoon, sneaking out at night, church every Sunday where they'd pray for her sinful soul.
But then she meets Evan Lincon; the school's misfit, as alone in her hometown as she is, but he's not the same as her, he's very different. He indulges in a different kind of sin
One thing's for sure though, her life will never be the same again, because try as hard as you might, it's almost impossible to save a life.
"Maybe Mary-Jane was the real hero. It must be a hard thing to do; love someone who is begging for death"
