Ember Craven is a young girl raised by a single mother in a rough neighborhood in New York. To help make ends meet, she becomes entangled with a local gang, using her fists as the gang's collector and her MMA training to participate in illegal fight rings, to pay the bills.

When tragedy strikes, Ember's world is turned upside down. She leaves behind the gang and fight cages for a life of wealth and luxury with her aunt and uncle in a small town in Canada. While grieving, Ember tries to change her life around and become a regular teenager in the sleepy town of Whitsborough. She experiences the ups and downs of being the new kid at school and makes friends that will last a lifetime.

Only fate has other plans, and just when she thinks her life is perfect, the rug is pulled out from under her. Both worlds collide and Ember finds out that Whitsborough isn't as pristine as it seems and her past is about to make an appearance in a devastating way.

No secret stays buried forever, and Ember Craven is about to unearth one that will change her life forever.
