Kenzie Williams has it all: wealth, friends, popularity, talent. But when her father declares bankruptcy, her whole New York City world turns upside down. Her parents' solution, while they sort through their problems, is to send Kenzie to live out the summer with her relatives in Paris. . . Idaho!

Feeling like she's been sentenced to three months in Hickville Prison, Kenzie arrives in Idaho feeling like a square peg, with name brand clothes, in a round, horribly podunk, hole.

Leaving everything she loves behind, Kenzie is forced to get up at the crack of dawn, do chores, and hang out with her cousin's loser friends. She feels like she's about to die. . . until she meets Adam White, the town outcast, who has been accused of killing his best friend and is being blamed for some trouble that's been happening around town. Not only is Adam the best-looking guy she's ever met, he's also the most fascinating, and Kenzie is determined to get to know him better and discover his secret.
