"Elsa, don't ever think you're alone. After all, we're all branches of a tree. And that tree belongs to everyone. That tree is our tree."
For Elsa's entire life, she had lived safely within the thick, brick walls of her home, Arendelle Manor. Lessons were taught there as she was homeschooled. Games were played there as her only friend was her little sister, Anna. But when she wasn't doing those things, Elsa was in her room. By herself.
Because if she wasn't alone, someone's life could be taken. Taken by her ability to harness winter.
17 years have passed, and suddenly, Arendelle Manor was no longer Elsa's eternal home. Her parents were no longer alive, either, and Elsa was positive she was the culprit.
But Elsa couldn't spend the remainder of her life thinking this over. Anna had a life to live.
That's why Elsa steps into Burgess High School, determined to get rid of her fear of people. To secure her little sister's future.
No matter the cost.
No matter who she must face.
The year is 1989, and living in Hollywood is every young persons dream. But surrounding yourself with the company of rising stars can be the difference between a dream and a nightmare.
