Alex Brady had been a normal kid when he'd fallen for Bree Treven. It was a cute little romance between two innocent children. But four years later, Bree is far from innocent. After years of abuse and rape committed by her family, little Bree finally snapped. Bree was thrown into Crickly, a place that turns you crazy if you aren't already. Alex was left without a friend in the world. Four years on, Alex is battling bullies at school and neglect at home, but maybe he wont be so alone, when a certain psychopath decides the time is right to make a surprise visit home.

After Alex Cole, an average 17 year old boy, has his heart crushed by the best friend he's been in love with for the past year, he doesn't really know what to do with himself. But after coming across a stray cat he found on the road, Alex's world is turned upside down.
