When worlds collide, it's explosive. That's how it was when I met you, a star shining brightly among the darkness. Best wishes for your birthday, Astrid.

Sarah Enríquez lives stuffed within a skinny frame, stuffed within soggy puddles, and stuffed within the muddy walls of Lo Vásquez Retiro, an Argentine Catholic youth camp. She grovels before Christ and endures the worst of those around her, escaping into the bushland to pray and sleep. She hurts. Sarah isn't alone. She fears the resident psychopath; little does she know, through passion, psychosis, and this very individual, her fragile life will take a turn for the fantastical.
