Bottling up emotions is one of Danny's greatest skills. Since the age of 5, Danny has had to fend for himself in the rough environment of foster care. Each time he'd get a new foster family seemed to create more problems than it solved. He built up his walls. To the untrained eye, Danny was a straight A student, and a polite, kind, quiet teenager. It was the reputation he spent years creating. All he ever wanted was to not be seen as the "troubled foster kid." And it was a success. That is, until his biological father reached out and tore his walls down. Danny was more confused than ever. He had a family, 3 brothers, that he didn't even know existed. He couldn't help but feel jealousy at the thought that they were raised with his father while he struggled with abusive foster parents. He had one prominent question, though; just what exactly happened to his mother?
