June Hills is the definition of someone you don't want to be friends with. She is what people call a 'spoiled bitch'. Her life is a mess: from going out to coming home in the middle of the night all drunk and wasted. Every parent's nightmare - her parents just don't happen to be in the pictures anymore. The Hills family has gone through tragedies more than enough, but when a car accident leads to another tragedy, everything is on the verge of breaking: June loses herself and everything that she ever was. Her life gets even messier if that is possible. On top of all, the person the whole family hates more than anything returns. But is he still the same or has he changed? What if everything is just a nightmare from where you wake up one day - what if it is the reality of life? Can sad birds sing forever or does it get silent one day?

No one ever wanted Riley Knight: not her father, who made sure she didn't have any part in his or his families life; not her mother, who resented her for virtually everything; nor her step father, who has hated her since before she was born. Not even her own big brothers -- the ones who are suppose to love and protect her no matter what -- wanted her. Or so she thought. Riley is the product of an affair -- well her and her twin brother, Rome, are -- but she never had two parents. See, her father has always had "something against" the female sex and therefore, it is weak in his eyes to have a daughter. So he kept Rome and sent Riley away from the second the twins were born. He is the one responsible for turning his six sons against his youngest child and only daughter and, therefore, chaining her to a life of abuse and neglect. But did he succeed? Following her fathers death 7 years ago, Riley's brothers have taken a bigger interest in her and her quality of life, ensuring it was up to par. But all is still not perfect among the Knight siblings. Will Riley finally find her solace among her big brothers? Will they find out about the horrors she faces on a day-to-day basis? Can this family ever become one again ... or do the scars run too deep?
