Synopsis: When Noah's mother Ella falls in love with the wealthy William, they both leave America to live in London with William and his son Nick. Upon her arrival, 18-year-old Noah meets Nick, a bad boy, and an immediate attraction develops between them. Noah spends the summer adjusting to her new life, making new friends in Nick's various circles, and navigating a complicated relationship with him while struggling to keep the attraction at bay. But unbeknownst to Noah, her estranged father has been released from prison and begins stalking her every move. Noah will eventually be forced to face her devastating past while falling in love for the first time.
