“You can rest peacefully now. We are no longer alone. We got each other now." Paula is going to college… and she is excited. No longer does she have to be under her parents' thumb. She will attend her first year with her best friends Selena and Jessie; one of them will be her roommate. She’s looking towards taking on the classes she wants. And she can’t wait to mingle with more new friends. But, Paula has a problem. It’s a man. A man she barely knows; a man she didn’t ask for. A man who wants her, who needs her. And would stop at nothing to get what he wants. Paula, so trusting, so sheltered, will soon learn that the world isn’t always as open and empathetic as it should be. She will face betrayal, apathy, isolation, and worse… The only three things she has going for her are her wit, hope, and perseverance.
