JUMP.
That's what sixteen-year-old P.K. has done. She's taken an impulsive leap from her restrictive life with her family into a life of total adventure: running away to go rock climbing out West with Critter, a guy she barely knows. At first, everything's amazing. The climbing is unbelievable, and she and Critter have great chemistry. But then the cops catch up to them (with an arrest warrant for Critter), and P.K. has to decide who to believe: this amazing guy whom she trusts with her life-or the cops, who want her to believe he may take her life.
