Ashton Irwin hated life. His parents beat him and made him feel fat ugly and worthless. One day, his father goes to far, and he runs away. He finds a band, 5seconds of summer, who just so happened to be looking for a drummer. They gladly welcome him into the band, but it still doesn't take away the emptiness he feels inside. Michael is the only one who sees through his fake smiles and strives to help Ashton. Will he be able to fix him? Or is Ashton broken beyond repair?
