Now she's just another high school senior in postcard-perfect Glenridge, Connecticut, determined to leave her past behind. Not even her best friend knows who she used to beor that she's scraping together every spare dollar to hopefully attend NYU.
When a movie shoot lands in Glenridgeand with it, her former co-star and exbest friend, Luke Cordovait threatens to stir up not only Claire's past, but also the dizzying crush she once had on Luke. He offers Claire a deal: let him shadow her to research his role, and he'll pay enough to make her college dreams possible.
As the woodsmoke-tinged October air grows colder, and she falls for Luke (again), Claire must confront what really drove her to hideand whether she can step back into herself without being consumed by everything she's tried to forget.
