When Raine leaves behind the quiet town of Harler, Pennsylvania for the bustling streets of Avenburgh, Illinois, she's chasing more than just her dream of becoming a dancer-she's chasing a future. Her goal: acceptance into the prestigious New York Institute of the Arts. But everything shifts on her first night in the city when a chance encounter at a corner store introduces her to Elliot.

Their bond over music is instant. Days later, Raine is shocked to discover that Elliot isn't just a random city boy-he's the star basketball player at her new school. But when he shows up with a fresh bruise and a guarded look in his eyes, Raine senses there's more beneath the surface.
