Needs some refinement, but it works. Why does she need to lose her memory? Did she see something/someone when the house burned? What if she never saw the arsons, then she could have full memory so no need for amnesia? Why two guys? Perhaps one is enough? Typically the guy chasing her is a relative, which we find out late in the story. And remember (Luke, I am your father), the protagonist girl is not 100% good, and the antogonst guy 100% bad. Give the girl one bad trait (e.g. she cheats on her tests at school) and give the guy a good trait (e.g. he's volunteer crossing guard for the local grammar school)

That is the plot of about a million different things. Starting with Lemony Snicket. But if you can find a hook to make it original - go with it. Right now it is very cliche. You need a good strong twist. Something like - the thing she saw she wasn't supposed to see involved someone she knows personally. A relative. A friend. The very person who tells her someone is after turns out to BE the person who is after her. Think outside the box. Be exceptional! Pax - C
