Абсолютно все люди разные. Одни чистые как новый снег, одни злы как ураган, одни добры ко всем как лучик солнца, другие словно птички безобидные. Еще же есть хмурые, злые, закрытые в себе, у которых ежедневная цель навредить к ому-то, которые во всем видят плохое и не видят смысла в жизни. Она не верит в любовь, доброту и искренность. Но словно вспышка все может поменяться, в момент когда придут к ней на порог беда, отчаяние и вопли, и счастье, и любовь... Загнанная в угол, запутавшаяся, придется ей найти выход.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
