Vincent Hoffard, a teenager with overly controlling and strict parents, has already learned plenty about how difficult life can be. Without much in terms of family, and with a complete lack of interest in conformity, his intelligence has led him into crime. Only with his best friend, Sarah Valen, does Vincent find himself with something to hang on to. The two teens' troubled pasts refuse to disappear, however, as they get deeper into the twisting plot of a war between the local crime lords. When one fateful day brings innumerable consequences with it, Sarah and Vincent assemble a team of their friends to help get them out. The group slowly learns just how powerful they can be, and together find out that their friendship gives them the ability to change history in ways that their families and schools never could.
