12 partes Concluida Emmitt Hendrix is a sixteen year old boy living with his mom, dad, and little sister Maggie in Burkon, Oregon. He's perfectly fine with watching movies, and doing things by himself. With not many friends, he finds himself exploring with his bike, keeping a journal alongside to write down his experiences. His life just seems normal, until their neighbour, Ms. Shepard across the street, stops joining them for daily dinners on Tuesday and Saturday nights. Gavin Shepard, Ms. Shepard's son, moves in with her, an abused and traumatized teen that had been trapped at his father's house up in Chicago. After a few doctor's appointments, it becomes clear what has been going on is far worse than anyone could understand.
Gavin has developed alexithymia, a rare condition that impacts the emotions we feel everyday. Any emotional response feels fake, and he learns from the environment around him, but never truly feels happy, excited, or even loved.
As a budding relationship starts to blossom between the two teen boys, the families find conflict and fear in their own lives. In this coming of age, heart wrenching tale, connect with the characters as they embark on a journey of learning how feelings can impact who you are and the connections you make.
