Buffalo, Minnesota was a small town where everyone knew everyone’s name, and that familiarity brought with it the kind of judgmental culture that could crush anyone who didn’t fit the mold. At the top of the social pyramid sat the Preppies—the popular girls who ruled the school with their designer clothes, flawless skin, and new cars that appeared the day they turned sixteen. They had the power to make or break someone’s high school experience, and for the longest time, Cheyenne Clough found herself under their scrutinizing gaze.
Cheyenne wasn’t a part of the popular crowd, nor was she an outcast. She floated somewhere in between, a girl who could get along with everyone but didn’t need to be the center of attention. At just fifteen, Cheyenne discovered she was pregnant. At odds with her mother over how to raise the child, Cheyenne made the bold decision to move out. She found a small apartment in Maple Lake, determined to build a life for herself. Her new living situation came with its own set of complications, but at least she had a support system. Her roommates were Callie Anderson, a 19-year-old with a warrant out for arrest, and Natasha Brandenburger, a 33-year-old nurse and tattoo artist. Cheyenne felt like she had found a new family. The three women—along with their boyfriends—shared the apartment, and for the first time in a long time, Cheyenne felt safe. She felt supported. She finally belonged.
But as time went on, cracks began to form in this new family dynamic.
