Everyone, at some point, in life wishes for change; be careful what you wish for...With her best friend gone and boyfriend, Nick, at college, Emma Parker's senior year is not starting out how she hoped. She is determined to make it great, anyway. Des, a nightmare from their past, violently forces his way back into her life. Fulfilling his promise to see her again, he inflicts an unbearable pain that rips her and Nick apart. Emma wanted change, desired change, pushed for change, in her humdrum life. She quickly finds out that sometimes change is forced upon you; it doesn't ask permission, it doesn't care about your opinion, it doesn't care who gets hurt. Haunted by things she cannot forget and tormented by things she cannot change, her life spirals out of control. Poor decisions lead to deadly consequences. Is Nick's love enough to save her from the darkness that threatens to destroy her, or will it take the unconditional love of another to give her a second chance?
