When Aria Kramer's parents get divorced, her mom decides that it would be best to have a fresh start. Somewhere far away from her father. Aria's mom decides to uproot her from anything and everything she has ever known, and relocate to Montreal, without any knowledge of the uprising of World War 3.
Aria hates Canada. She misses her home in quiet Colorado. She misses her dad and all her friends, and she wants nothing more than to leave her mom. All she does is go to work, and come home and sit in silence.
Aria knows her mom knows something about the war. Every day, more guards are thrown on the street, holding guns at bus stops, restaurants, and grocery stores. Something doesn't seem right, and her mom knows it too.
One day on a quiet trip home from the library, Montreal is bombed, leaving thousands dead, including her mom. She has nowhere to go, except Colorado, but that means crossing the border illegally and staring death in the eye.
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
