Amity Gates is often referred to as a loser, nerd, loner, or freak by her peers. In contrast, the four bad boys of South Brooke High are commonly described as sexy, popular, intimidating, and dangerous. Amity's life is characterized by a lack of support from anyone, as she is an orphan with an absent stepfather who has left her with debts to pay. She has no friends or family to rely on, save for her Shadow, a silent pen pal who has been the only constant presence in her life for the past three years. In an effort to obtain the things she needs most, such as new clothes, a job, and protection, Amity strikes a deal with the school's bad boys. However, she soon discovers that their lives are more intertwined than she could have ever imagined. Zane ignites a fire within her, awakening feelings she never thought she could have for someone like him. Darl is charming and humorous, while Issac harbors a deep hatred for her without any explanation or remorse. Brendon is dangerous and cruel, provoking a level of anger within her that she has never experienced before. However, his secrets ultimately challenge everything she thought she knew about herself. Amity's life is about to undergo a significant upheaval due to the inescapable push and pull of the O'Brian men. And what a ride it will be.
