All Paige Fleming knows is that she wants to be a writer. She weaves the people she knows and the things that happen to her into her stories, disguising real life experience with stranger plots and characters. At school she's a good student, avoids trouble and an obsessive ex-boyfriend, while at home she takes care of her down-and-out father. She also has a brother, Trevor, an angry and sometimes violent teenager forced from the house two years ago. Suddenly, unannounced, Trevor re-enters her life. He moves back into their house, enrolls in her school, even starts hanging out with her friends. Everyone talks about giving him a second chance, but Paige doesn't trust him. Trevor's history is something she can't forget, and it is soon evident that he has ulterior motives for returning home. Yet her dad takes him back, her schoolmates think he's cool, and her best friend, despite Paige's warnings, desperately wants to sleep with him. Paige doesn't know whom to turn to or what to do. All she knows is that she has to get rid of her brother before someone gets hurt.
