Robyn's life is a mess. Her sister is obsessed with finding her boyfriend's murderer, she barely sees her mom, and her dad is having an affair. Multiple affairs, actually. She has to put on a mask every morning before she steps foot outside her room, to hide her pain and knowledge. She's falling apart, but can't let anyone know-that is, until she meets Andrius, who might be just as broken as her. His boyfriend is abusive, and his parents are dead; he's been in and out of the foster care system for years. As their friendship grows, their masks seem disappear...and some of their newfound scars are uglier than others.
