So she's built up protective walls and refuses to let anyone close enough to hurt her. Instead, she drowns her frustrations in music and spends her afternoons break-dancing with her brother.

But then she meets Ocean James. He's the first person in forever who really seems to want to get to know Shirin. It terrifies herthey seem to come from two irreconcilable worldsand Shirin has had her guard up for so long that she's not sure she'll ever be able to let it down.
