Guest lived in Washington for the first fourteen years of her life before her parents decided her and her family were moving to Alabama. After two years they decided to move back west to California. On their trip to California they stopped in Los Vegas. Guest, her dad, stepmom, little sister and little brother went down to the pool of the hotel they were staying at.

A year after their first trip to California. Guest is now 17 and her stepmom and her dad take her and her older brother, Jarred, back to Vegas. They stay in the same hotel and they all go down to the pool. Jarred and Guest's parents decided they didn't want to go into the water but Guest did. She saw the lifeguard from last year again and this time he gets into the pool, when someone switches shifts with him, and swims over to her
