After a tragic downfall in her crime-based family, and the arrest of her father and beloved brother, Quinn Avery spent the last two years bouncing between foster families, never quite fitting in anywhere.

Now, on the cusp of turning eighteen and aging out of the system, she was being shipped off to Redwood Academy, the last stop on her chaotic journey.

Little did she know, this final destination would bring unexpected twists, including an accidental entanglement with the school's principal and English teacher, Nathan Gardner.
