Totalement opposés, Edie et John n’auraient jamais dû se rencontrer, mais une tragédie va les rendre inséparables…

Edie a toujours été sage, or la monotonie de sa vie est soudain brisée lorsqu’elle est prise en otage dans un supermarché. John, un garçon de son âge à la réputation sulfureuse, lui sauve la vie.

Dès lors, Edie décide de vivre à cent à l’heure et cède à toutes ses pulsions. Quant à John, il arrête de dealer et se concentre sur le lycée.

Si le drame les a réunis, ils ne vivent pas ses conséquences de la même façon. Leurs destins vont-ils se séparer ou s’entremêler ?

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.
