What you need to know before your trail

The child of two con artists, 16-year-old Sammie Bell always prided herself on knowing the score. But now she finds herself backed into a corner. After a hustle gone dangerously wrong, her mother, Marlene, is sliding into an abyss of alcoholic depression, a goal Sammie is tempted to help her accomplish. Horrified by the appeal of this, Sammie packs a bag and leaves her mother to her own devices.

With her father missing in action, she has nowhere else to go but the home of a friend with two parents who seem to actually love their daughter and each other

Sammie is torn between her longing for the approval of her con-man father and her desire to live in this nice new world. Sammie wants to be normal but fears that her past will prevent her.
