went to jail for 15 years after getting into a horrific experience with drugs and killing a young couple in a car accident. Permanently scarred from this, Lucy and her mom moved to Oregon in order to start fresh. As Lucy settled in, she worried about finding
friends and happiness as she left her former friend group behind. Luckily, she meets a sweet group of teenagers in her new town that immediately help her find and love activities that she never would have found interest in before. While going through the toughest
