Lila stared at herself in the mirror. Her one green and one blue eyes stare back at her, heavy dark bags just under them. Her once long brown hair, now cut short with blue and pink streaks as an act of rebellion. Her eyes linger down to her shoulder which she purposely brused ; an act of self-harm without making her depression too obvious. Slowly , she starts to cover her face with a powdery substance that would hide her sorrows that clearly shows in her face; something called make-up.A product used by women all over the world too hide their true selves. As long as she can remember, she has been in and out of foster homes. Often feeling forgotten and worthless. This made her heart grow hard as stone. Shutting out anything and everyone who actually cares and wants to help. ' Is this who I am? A cold-hearted, rebellious and depressed 16 year-old?" She thought. Lila goes off to an camp for "troubled teens". Spending the whole summer there was not part of her plans. This obviously made her very upset.Watch how a horse , love and friendship changes her from a delinquent to a stunning young woman. All the teens on the camp have their own troubles. Some are depressed, some are on the wrong path, some was even sent here because of their homophobic parents. So yes, they all have their own problems, but they all solve them together.

Blue

Blue is living example of how brutal the foster system is. The only way she knows how to protect herself is by pushing everyone away, to detach herself from those around her. Trust isn't something she knows how to do. Self-sabotage on the other hand-it's her best talent. After another failed attempt at finding a family, Blue decides to run. She'd rather take her chances alone on the streets than go through another gruelling process of trying to fit in with a new family who would never understand her. Convinced she's destined to be alone, fate intervenes and Blue cross paths with a horse who seems just as lost as she is. She can't explain it, the undeniable connection she feels with the stallion. But whenever she looks at him, she can see her own pain and fear reflect in his eyes-something they both seem to find comfort in. A deep friendship blossoms. A dynamic of mutual understanding and trust is found in the most unlikely way. But with it comes the shadows of a past that threatens to tear them apart and ruin the special bond forged between them. This is a tale of how two lost souls find hope in the most unexpected way, and their fight to protect it.
