Plot summary
The insulin Cassie Salazar needs for her type 1 diabetes costs more than she can pay, so she works as a waitress and bartender in Oceanside, California, and performs there with her band, The Loyal. Luke Morrow, a Marine who deploys soon to Iraq, has been clean for two years but still owes his dealer Johnno fifteen thousand dollars. Cassie asks Frankie, her friend from childhood, to marry her so she can get the coverage military spouses receive, but he is engaged to Riley. Luke, who overheard, offers himself instead.
