Hope: Her mother died in a 'mugging' and her father has been absent in her life. All she has is her brother who is now in college and can only come home on weekends. She misses her family. She has two best friends Eliza and Elizabeth who love her deeply. After one night in Walmart her life changes. She meets new friends and a guy. A guy she can't wrap her head around. She doesn't know what she feels all she know is he gets under her skin and she's not sure if she likes what ever is happening.  Josiah/ King:  He's closed off. The only people he let's in is his little sister Samantha and his best friends Jasmine, Mateo, Luke, Jace and Nikolaus.
