15 year-old Ransom-Lullaby Sullivan, a.k.a "Suicide", is a walking tragedy. Her brother John committed suicide, but she was somehow blamed for it. Her parents, obsessed with having a 'perfect' child, abused her and enrolled her into a school for juvenile delinquents. With a drinking problem and suicidal tendencies, Ransom is a bomb waiting to explode. A year later, she and her best friend Connor are chosen to be paired up with a band for a three-month healing and suicide prevention program with To Write Love On Her Arms. When she gets paired with her brother's favorite band, things about his life, and hers, become clearer and clearer to her. After suffering abuse from her Mother again, she ends up living with Alex happily. Happy ending, right? Things can only get worse when they're at their best.
