When Sophia Vaca’s family immigrated from Ecuador to the U.S. many people helped them along their way. Her parents taught her to always pay every kindness forward.

Lacie Lindly has her eye on the Chief Technology Officer position at the Denver tech company where she works. She’s not about to let the fallout from a night of indiscretion that resulted in charges and court ordered community service stop her climb up the tech side of the corporate ladder.

With the world watching and wrap day looming, Rowan and Viv must choose between protecting the glittering masks they’ve built – or risking everything for one fragile, fiercely earned chance at something real.
