Could Beryl Hit Florida

The Everything Between Us

Lucretia (Luca) Connelly is seventeen years old and has her whole life ahead of her. It’s her senior year of high school so the pressure to choose a path for her foreseeable future is mounting. Though she has no idea what she wants to do, she knows she can always rely on her good connections and natural design talent. She’s the daughter of the mayor of Miami, in the top ten of her class in the most prestigious high school in the state of Florida, vice president of the student body, and stage manager for her high school’s thespian troupe- she’s essentially set for success. But what if something threatens that? When her younger sister, Sofia, finds herself in a dangerous position that threatens to reveal a secret that could ruin their father’s campaign for governor, Luca has no choice but to step up. Left with no other instruction other than ‘fix this’, she falls down a rabbit hole where things go from ugly to sinister. Drugs, organ harvesting, human trafficking, forced participation in human experimentation, and political conspiracy start to reveal their ugly heads. Now she’s stuck with two options: 1. Say nothing, and leave everything in the dark. She and everyone she holds dear will be safe, and there’s only a slight possibility of death. 2. Take action and do the right thing: bring everything to light and face her father’s wrath and family’s public disgrace with a high possibility of death if caught. Can she somehow save her sister and her own life without trading her soul, or will she have to become a villain to keep everyone safe?
