Reba Washington, Alex Kowalski, and Danny Richards have worked hard to realize their dreams, but what about those who have their dreams wrested from their hands and are left with what they think is nothing? Four very different people must come to terms with this difficult reality.

Freshman Gabriel Watson sees his new freedom as a fresh start, but the weight of responsibility and unforeseen difficulties threaten both his life and the life of others.

And junior Claire Middleton thought she was right on track to becoming the next Oscar winning film director until the unimaginable swooped her out of her comfortable and contact-rich environment and dropped her unceremoniously into Montgomery High School.
