Life just can't get worse for Jennifer White, Austin Millards, and Deborah James. All are victims of bullies, and dealing with their own personal problems. Through all the layers of bad, each of them has their own way of relief and paradise. Together in each other's worlds in ways they've never noticed, these three will stand together in a world against them. Meet Deborah: So, how does it feel, having someone so close and blood-related to turn on you once intoxicated? Painful; Deborah James could tell you personally. Bruises cover her arms everyday, wearing long-sleeves to hide her life. But she's fierce, fiery and full of the fear she lives with; and sometimes she thinks, maybe one day, she'll be free of it all. Meet Austin: The weight, the braces, the loneliness. It all haunts Austin Millards every night, crying himself to sleep with the radio. Austin can't figure the secret to popularity, and can't pull himself to try. But every once in a while, life is giving and could Austin finally gain the social life he never had? Meet Jennifer: Illiterate, stupid, dumb, unfit; Jennifer White has been called all of these - only because a silly mind disorder has her plagued. Dyslexia. Jennifer ponders every day: "How could something so small, affect something so large?" Why should something like having problems interpreting words, turn the tables and she can't make any friends? It doesn't make sense. With one shadow of a thousand wounds, these three are under the radar together, unable to break the seam of judgement, to be themselves.
