Starting all over again in a new town can be hard enough but with dad not around anymore, her mom on the verge of a breakdown, and a kid sister to look after, Kally's life is suddenly full of secrets. When the gorgeous Jem skates into Kally's life and sweeps her off her feet, things finally seem to be going right. But as she and Jem grow closer, Kally dicovers there's more than one side to him and that she's not the only one with things to hide. Soon her life is spinning out of control.
