Malory learns of Kyle’s disturbing reality, and Kyle learns of Malory’s scarring past. Can these two brilliant but messy teens learn to rely on each other in the face of their silent battles?

 I didn’t know I’d find her crying as she chips down the sidewalk on the way to her house. The intention was to pass by, unnoticed, and I was hoping to hear random babbling going on inside –some music maybe –some happy cheers –some laughter.
