Emily McAlister has the perfect life-a loving family, a goal-orientated mind-set, and amazing grades. Underneath her sweet and innocent persona is an envious woman who wishes to be just as pretty and popular as her archnemesis, Skye. But when Skye makes Emily's life a living hell, she seeks revenge and takes matters into her own hands. Leaving her life in the arms of a judge and jury, Emily is sentenced to life imprisonment for a crime she regrets. Em turns to the only person she can-her little brother Jesse, who supports her through everything. But when her attitude changes for the worse, she is left to fight her own battles. Her life becomes better when she meets warm-hearted, voluptuous, and current prison inmate Peyton, whom she grows to have an intimate relationship with. But an anonymous call now leaves death knocking at Emily's door. Will the two people closest to her let her down?
