Kennedy made a bargain to save Tanner's future. When she agrees to return home with her father, she's forced to ask herself the most important question of all - who can she trust?
She's going home, and that should make her happy. Once she back in California, she quickly discovers that nothing's the same as when she left. Even her closest friends have moved on, and she's lost her spot in her theater company. She's never felt more alone. Worse still, she can't tell Tanner the real reason she went back to California, and she knows he doesn't understand. Kennedy convinces herself that it's for the best. By leaving Piney Bluff, she's ensured Tanner's future is secure.
She was wrong.
Tanner is angry. Angry at Kennedy. Angry at the football coaches. But he's most angry at his mother for letting his father rejoin the family. As the days turn into weeks, his father becomes more and more unstable. Tanner thinks his father is the most dangerous thing he has to worry about.
He was wrong.
