For most teenagers, figuring out what to do after high school is one of the more daunting aspects of growing up. For Angela, dark family secrets are unfolding, making the importance of college applications fall away and feel unnecessary.

Entered into an arranged marriage with the cartel leader's son, Angela's only option is to figure a way out of the set up. Moving from Texas to California, Angela hopes that distance will put an end to the arrangement and prevent anyone from bringing her back home and delivering her back into the hands of the cartel.

With a new life in the making, her hopeful dreams are tarnished when everything she's running from catches up to her and casts a shadow on the future she's planned for herself. Will she bend to the will of the cartel? Or is Angela strong enough to risk everything and break free of that old life?
