Jackson is fed up, and has been since he was twelve years old. Fed up with the world, with his hometown resenting him, with his toxic family. He's fed up with his life and wants so badly to change it, but every day he's forced to feel more and more stuck in his situation. Stuck being angry, alone, and never feeling the way he should. He's given up on a way out. He's given up on being more than he has been. But, then Harley Mitchell moves into town. An orphan living with her adoptive sister figure Natalie. She's happy, she's excited, she's new. She's got weird scars and a sadness in her eyes only he can see, yet she's so bright. Jackson can't decide how he feels about her. Everybody else in their town resents her. But, they resent him, too. Harley is used to being somewhat ostracized. She's an orphan with no blood family. She's been through a lot thanks to the foster care system. But she insists on going through it all with a smile on her face. Which Jackson can't stand. However, as their final year before adulthood goes by, they find themselves gravitating towards each other, learning each other's stories, and changing each other's lives.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 31, 4:00 AM Mercedes isn't in the mood for pretty much anything besides her comfort murder mystery books movies and spending time with her best friends. Especially not after her boyfriend cheats on her. More importantly, since her brother just got falsely accused of murder. Saying that she has a lot on her plate is an understatement. She has a five-course meal, that's getting harder and harder to swallow. Dario is just trying to keep himself together for as long as possible. Remembering to breathe and to put on a smile for his siblings takes up enough mind space, not to mention the fact that he's in his senior year and he has absolutely no clue what he's supposed to do with his life after high school. But then, on a roller coaster of a field trip, Mercedes and Dario find themselves at the same gas station, on the same Thursday, at 4 AM. Somehow, against all odds, they bond almost immediately. Soon, they find themselves on an adventure of a lifetime, still barely managing to get by. They don't know much about the future. But they can hope that they will be included in each other's.
