A boy like Joe, fresh out of prison and 'from the wrong side of town', is out of bounds...especially for straight 'A' grade college student Ashley, but she can't seem to keep away. He's the one that she wants, and she wants him to be her 'first'...but at what cost? With her family acting mysteriously and her friends turning against her, Joe seems to be the only person she can turn to, but can she really rely on him...or herself?
