Maya Hayes is a model student with one goal: study hard, escape her abusive father, and never look back. When she runs from the abuse and accidentally stumbles into a tattoo studio, she meets Jude Sinclair, the rebel of Oakridge High. The good girl and the rich kid with a dark past end up as desk mates. Late-night conversations lead to secrets shared with each other. Insults fade into mutual understanding. Slowly, they tear down each other's defensive walls and find sincerity. Together, they make a promise: to free themselves, to fight back, and to destroy everything that tries to bring them down.
