Tate Brandt and her next-door neighbor Jared Trent were inseparable childhood best friends until he suddenly turned cold and cruel toward her. After spending a year abroad to escape his relentless torment, Tate returns home for her senior year determined to stop being his victim and fight back instead. As the two clash in an escalating war of hurt feelings and buried history, old wounds start to surface, forcing them to confront the real reason Jared pushed her away in the first place. It's a story about how love and cruelty can become tangled together, and whether trust can be rebuilt once it's been broken.
