Being young is all about the experiences: the first time
you skip school, the first time you fall in love…the
first time someone holds a gun to your head.
After being held hostage during a robbery at the local
convenience store, seventeen-year-old Edie finds her
attitude about life shattered. Unwilling to put up with
the snobbery and bullying at her private school, she
enrolls at the local public high school, crossing paths
with John. The boy who risked his life to save hers.
While Edie’s beginning to run wild, however, John’s just
starting to settle down. After years of partying and
dealing drugs with his older brother, he’s going straight
—getting to class on time, and thinking about the future.
An unlikely bond grows between the two as John keeps Edie
out of trouble and helps her broaden her horizons. But
when he helps her out with another first—losing her
virginity—their friendship gets complicated.
Meanwhile, Edie and John are pulled back into the
dangerous world they narrowly escaped. They were lucky to
survive the first time, but this time they have more to
lose—each other.
