Still reeling from the suicide of his best friend Tess, seventeen year-old Brendan struggles to overcome addiction and identity issues. Walking the ledge outside his Manhattan apartment has become its own sort of drug, as he stands night after night with his arms outstretched, ready to fly away. 

Sarah can see him from her window, and begins journaling about a boy on a ledge. 

Paige and Nate, a young couple in another building, can see both teens from their fire escape. 
None of them knows the others are watching, but a strong desire for freedom resides in each of them. One by one, as their lives unexpectedly intertwine, that desire will be tested. 

Three buildings. One city block. Three stories. One common thread. #featuredAll Rights Reserved
