His Dad is addicted to alocohol and his Mom would lock herself up in her room and almost drown in her tears. Phoenix keeps everything bottled up inside him - he's a grenade full of pain and guilt but one day he'll explode and cause more pain. He's not the type of guy that'd make out with every girl he meets, in fact all he does is reading and writing. But when he meets the outgoing Emanuel his life is about to take a twist. And not just a small twist.

Finn lives life from the outside looking in. He's the anti-norm; the observer standing in the corner. Owen is reckless, mainstream, and Finn's best friend. One night, Finn drowns. Owen pushed him into the lake.
