Camille can’t believe her bad luck when she’s ordered to join a church youth group after hiding her boyfriend from the police. She’ll bide her time if that’s what it takes to get everyone off her back, but it’s the last place she ever expected to make a new friend. Angel has a secret that’s got her running scared, so when she sees a flyer for the group, she heads to the church, hoping to find an answer to her problem. Now Rachel, their group leader, has a task for them that may just end their daily dramas and give them a whole new beginning. They just have to take a leap of faith. . . .

Along the way, they meet tough-as-nails Jasmine and society darling Alexis, forging loyal friendships. As the girls take up Rachel’s challenge to honor their parents, they find that walking a new path isn’t always the easiest way to go. But together, Camille, Angel, Jasmine, and Alexis will embark on adventures that only the best of friends can share.
