The story

Rick Brogan is the apple of his father's eye—smart, handsome, and idolized by his younger siblings Philip and Sarah. By stark contrast, Lonnie Carson is a troubled and withdrawn girl, struggling to put the painful memory of a suicide attempt behind her. Both teenagers are dealing with loneliness and family pressures when they begin to find solace in each other, and a young romance develops.
