When Alison and Ian were kids, everyone treated them like sister and brother. Now they're older and they're still good friends - too good as far as some people are concerned. Small town, small minds. You can either escape, or stick it out. Ian chooses his own way, but it's not Alison's. And her way seems to bring nothing but trouble. She's not a bad girl, so maybe what her grandmother says is true: that only the good girls get caught. Alison is the story of one girl who does get caught, but who escapes through her courage and unbeatable will.
