Sarah Clancy, raising two children alone after the death of her husband five years before, has a problem.
That problem comes in the shape of her rebellious sixteen-year-old daughter, Ruby, who has been skipping school—along with her friend Dylan, who just happens to be the son of the high school principal, Cam Hyde.
Cam has his own set of problems: not only does he have to put in long hours to do the right thing by his staff, the parent body and the students, but he has to mend the rift with his teenage son.
Together, Cam and Sarah face not only the challenge of steering their children back on the right path, but giving the feelings between them room to grow.
Then the kids really start acting out. Whatever happened to a peaceful life?
