Marisol Vega is admired, loved, included, and constantly surrounded by friends - yet she's never felt more invisible. Her role in the group has always been fixed: the good one, the peacemaker, the pretty girl with the perfect smile. No one asks how she feels, what she wants, or what she's afraid of. Not even her best friends.
Hunter Whitmore is the school's quiet outcast. He's not a bad kid - just overlooked, misunderstood, and easier for people to ignore. His reputation is shaped by rumors, not who he actually is. At home, he walks on eggshells around a neglectful, chaotic household.
They share one thing:
a home life that feels like a cage, and a deep loneliness no one else seems to notice.
Until they notice each other.
