Aidan Keane lives the way he does so he can die knowing that he lived—and he refuses to change. Reckless, spontaneous, and incapable of thinking before he acts, he falls in with an older, faster crowd who pull him into a side of Los Angeles he never knew: loud parties, fast cars, and the kind of status that makes you think you’re on top of the world. Aidan idolizes it all, chasing the wild lifestyle of those above him in an effort to become a star. But as Aidan begins to lose himself in that world, he meets a ballerina whose quiet, disciplined life couldn’t be further from his own. And as the consequences of his life choices begin to close in, he is forced to confront the truth that those who shine the brightest are often the first to burn out. But what proves stronger: the beliefs we build our lives upon, or our willingness to change?
