On the rain-slick, broken streets of Chicago's South Side, an 18-year-old bar girl. You survive day to day, running from your abusive alcoholic mother and the quiet terror that you'll end up just as broken as the people around you. The only person who ever saw you is Lip Gallagher-smart, stubborn, and cursed with the same self-destructive Gallagher blood that turned his father Frank into a ghost.
We dance around each other for years, too scared to name the love burning between you, until one fight shatters whatever fragile truce they built.
You run straight into the arms of drugs and casual danger; Lip drowns himself in whiskey and random girls, determined to become everything he always swore he'd never be.
For a month, you hurt each other worse than any enemy ever could, pushing each other further toward the edge. Now both of you have crashed and burned on Kev and Veronica's barroom floor,
the only two people who ever cared enough to keep you. On a rainy Tuesday night, Lip's truck idles across the street, and the question hangs heavy: will two kids born into brokenness ever find a way to pull each other out, or will the South Side take them both like it takes everyone else?
