Endings. Everyone and everything has one. They're inevitable, right? At twenty-one, Ason 'Ace' Williams Jr. knows all about inevitable endings. He's formerly famous, a popular rapper's muse, the son of a three-time NBA champ, and a little... complicated. After a disturbing scandal and loss rocks his world, he's left to deal with both in a city that doesn't quite feel like home. It's a place filled with old family friends he's never met, reminders of all the endings he's had to endure, and even worse-he's stuck there after his dad takes a job no one ever imagined him taking.

Eighteen-year-old Lourdes 'Phat' Hines doesn't think about endings because she's too busy dealing with the now. She's a part-time college student, full-time caretaker, and worst of all, a lowly freshman on a campus she doesn't have time to get accustomed to. After a tense run-in with a boy she's sure she's supposed to hate, the endings she's been running from catch up to her at full speed and she faces a question he seems to have the answer to: What happens at the end of it all?
