Music is her passion, her life, her obsession, and sometimes, her hell.

As a high school senior, Cadence Wiles doesn't have her life figured out. Over the summer, her mentally ill mother forced impossible choices on her and now she has to face reality. Alone, without anyone to support her, it's time Cadence explores her newfound freedom and what it really means to be an adult.

But the five boys she meets aren't in her plans and they're more than determined to insert themselves into her life. Will they be able to break through the barriers she's had to rely on to keep herself safe? Or will she keep them away as she counts down the days until she can disappear into the world as a full-fledged adult?

Her life may be difficult, but Cadence is more than willing to fight to make it everything she wants it to be. Even if that means walking against the flow of harmony.
