The story begins with Raven as she awakens from death in a coffin under a tree in a forest. She has no memory of how she got there or her past life. Raven realized that she is still 16 years old and confused about the world around her. She's dressed in clothes that she's never seen before, and she's lost in a strange forest.

Raven's family was unaware of her death, and she was declared a missing person with the case closed. They thought she had run away, and her mother was consumed with sorrow and eventually died.
Raven decides to go back to school and attends a high school, where she meets people from her past life, including her former best friend, Nikki, and her ex-boyfriend, Brenden.
