Isadora Neri hates change. That pretty much sums up how she feels about moving across the country with her brother and Mom after the death of their father. She hates the heat. She hates the beach. She hates the whole state of California. And most of all she hates her brother's new best friend, Lucas Olympios. All Lucas wants is to show her life has so much more than her dark past. But Isadora being Isadora, hates all things new and refuses any interaction with Lucas. He's determined to break through to her and show her all things to love about the world.
