Gangs, teenagers, drug deals and a past that can rock your world into oblivion. Welcome to high school. "It's time that you face your past. Face the disaster that you left behind." "What if I don't want to?" "You don't have a choice anymore, Naya." Naya is the sunshine of her brother's life. Her brother has lied to so many people that he barely remembers who he lies to. He's the gang leader. But as the two of them move from Chicago to a smaller, more quiet town, Naya meets Cade. Handsome, quiet, mysterious and never kissed a girl in his life. But Naya isn't as helpless as she seems. She's hiding something and it's huge. With her past rapidly suffocating the world around her, she has no choice. Will she tell the truth? Or follow her brother into a life of lies and hate? "I felt like I was drowning. There was no other way to describe it. I was swimming in memories of pain and I had no escape. This time, I really believed that I was going to die. But there he was, like always, pulling me close, kissing my forehead and tell me it will all be alright. But he is in a gang of liars. And by now, I've grown numb to plastic promises."
