One, two, three, four. Breathe. One, two, three, four. Breathe. One, two, three, four. Breathe. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Rhythm. Rhythm. Rhythm. That's what this is all about. The simplicity. How nothing else matters. All you need to focus on is the count. One, two, three, four. Breathe. Hit the wall, flip, push off, and count again. One, two, three, four. Breathe. That's it for me. That's all I'll ever need. Ashton Dean believes in his ability. He believes swimming is going to be his ticket out of this town. His only way out...and Ashton knows that he'll never need anything else, as long as he has the water. Well, that's until Ashton meets Kasey Decker. She's everything Ashton has never known and he likes that. With his future on the line, his dream dangling in front of him, and Kasey so close he can almost touch her, Ashton has a big decision to make. One that'll change his life forever.

"Its just I hate myself sometimes and I really hate how I act. I'm so fucking mean to everyone, especially you and your friends, and I guess it's because your happy and I'm not. I've been jealous of you since you got here. Your perfect."
"I've never been perfect, no one is. I just know which parts of myself to hide and which parts to show."
