Peyton is boring. Raised with a strict family, she's just not sure if she will fit in. Ruby is nervous. She wants to experiment with things, with people, but will her anxiety take over? Cova is depressed. She has vibrant thoughts in her head, but the words seem to get stuck in her throat, and her demons take over. Adelaine is simple and prefers not to complicate things. Connor is judged. He is deaf and relies on a hearing aid, which makes him an easy target. Isaiah is troubled. He is scared of what might happen if his memories take over, but he seems to hide it. Asher is bullied. All because of two words, two words that people seemed to hate. Victoria is a badass. She rides a motorcycle, breaks rules, and is overall fearless. At least that's what people think.
