When Carlos Fuentes returns to America after spending a year in Mexico, he doesn't want the life his older brother Alex gave him at Colorado High School. Carlos likes to walk on the edge of a cliff and wants to make his own life - just like Alex did. But then he meets Ciara Westford. She is not very sociable and is completely intimidated by Carlos' wild behavior. But after getting to know her better, Carlos comes to the conclusion that Kiara considers herself too good for him, and refuses to admit that she may not be indifferent to him. He soon realizes that being himself is exactly what Kiara needs.
