After moving in with her uncle, Jae is  looking for a fresh start. But an accidental run-in with the school’s  delinquent, Derek Patel, is not exactly what she had in mind.

He’ll do anything to hide his problems from his  friends, including breaking into his old house to keep up the charade  that he still lives there. But the house now belongs to the school’s lit  teacher, who offers him the chance to join the poetry club as a  penance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the newest members of the club, Jae and Derek are  tasked with planning the end-of-semester poetry reading.
