Two polar opposites, a small university, and one thing in common: a dark side of their life that has never before seen the light.
Kellsey Belle Breland is an outcast, and everywhere she goes she is looked down upon. She's an odd girl with a terrifying past and a present that's just as bad. She has no friends, and the only person she has to call family is an abusive father who blames her for everything... including the loss of his wife and son.
Jacob Lee Walker is the all American boy. He's one of the most popular guys in school and captain of the football team. He always has a smile on his face, yet it never reaches his eyes, suggesting that there's something more to him than what everyone sees. Something that he hides. That he's scared of.
When their paths collide, will sparks fly? Or will everything be a terrible disaster?
