Harold Black is a beautiful mixture of darkness, hatred, and elatedness. An odd combination, but perfect for hard-shelled Elle Thornton. Harry has spent his summer in Manhattan with Elle and her egocentric, multi-millionaire uncle, shopping carelessly with the money that Elle extorts from people. Cody Sinclair, an overly-cynical wannabe emo boy stereotype has had his eye on the cute cashier at Hirsch Vinyl, Aleksandra Perry, the nyctophilic self harmer. Cara Magorian is a waitress at Janice's Inn and Diner, a lanky adopted girl of two loving Armenian fathers. She works with Trevor Moreno-Robertson, (who prefers "Trevor Robertson") an abnormally tall motel front desk worker who is an "all American" boy on the outside, but on the inside is fighting to find who he really is. What will happen when these 6 different personalities come together in the land of prepubescent temptation known as the Stameković High School class of '16?
