Sydney West's new relationship might have survived Malibu, but her transformation from party girl to girlfriend isn't complete...

Sydney is back in Arizona, and with the fall semester at her doorstep, doubts about her so-called summer love start to plague her. A bad girl can only stay good for so long. Jason King changed her and made her wonder if love was real. But now, far from his charm, and with the party scene on campus in full swing, the magic is fading...

Jason isn't willing to let distance drive a wedge between them...

A surprise reunion and a romantic cabin getaway is enough to reignite their summertime spark, but Sydney isn't convinced this whole monogamous, meet-your-parents thing Jason wants is possible. No boy has ever met her mother. Then, when a sudden family tragedy strikes, it sends her spiraling into her old habits of booze and boys.

Sydney can only hide from her past for so long...

In the fog of drowning her sorrows, Sydney realizes her former party lifestyle won't make her happy. Her one-night stands ended with Jason. As much as she wants to believe in that far-fetched fairy tale ending, she's afraid if Jason finds out about all her summer boys, he will abandon her just like her father did.

Jason refuses to settle for the superficial shell Sydney keeps between them, though, and is determined to...

Break Down Sydney once and for all.
