It started with an English paper, two unwilling partners, and a truck of stolen electronics. After that the details get kind of fuzzy. Somehow Kylie Flores and Max Langston have ended up in Tijuana together, sharing a bed, with wedding rings on their fingers. With no passports, no cell phone service, and no car they have no way to get back home. And graduation is less than twenty four hours away. Max and Kylie have no idea how things could have gotten so out of hand so quickly, but one thing is blatantly clear: if they want to make it to graduation they are going to have to set aside their differences and work together to find a way home and figure out how they ended up like this in the first place.
