When Elec moves in during her senior year of high school, the narrator faces an impossible situation. Her new stepbrother resents being there and takes his anger out on her. She watches him bring other girls from school to his room. She tries to hate everything about him, but her body betrays her feelings about his tattooed physique and striking looks. Their relationship shifts over time until everything explodes one night. Then Elec disappears back to California. Years pass without contact. A family tragedy forces them to meet again. The moody teenager has become a fully grown man, and her attraction has only intensified. She knows her heart faces another round of pain, but she cannot escape the pull between them.
