The balance is about to tip. Fighting to hide the truth of her family, to keep her sister safe, to squash her feelings for Luke... she never asked for this war.

Carter wishes she could live a normal life, but she's too busy trying to hide the fact that her mother's an alcoholic who brings home guys every night and taking care of her four year old sister Regan. Her life is in a steady, if not a little sad, balance of preschool drop-off, surviving high school, and then heading back to preschool pick-up so they can head home to a mother who forgets to care.

One morning, though, the balance begins to tip in the wrong direction. Her mother brings home Cole, and he's the worst one yet. Through a before school encounter with her mom's new boyfriend, Carter knows that there's something just not right. She's worried. Can she protect Regan? Can she protect herself?

Another day of after school detention, and the balance shifts again... because there she meets Luke, the eternal bad boy that she probably shouldn't mess with. This time, Carter isn't sure which way the balance is tipping, and her life has just been thrown into a battle of protecting Regan and herself, figuring out what she feels for Luke, and fighting to hide her life from all who could take Regan away. But will her battle end in a happily ever after, or will evil triumph?
