Adam Burke is suffocating in silence.

After suffering the loss of his only parent, he must learn to how to live without his father. He believed the only family he had known would rally around him, bring him into their homes. He was wrong. An Aunt he never knew existed came forward as his saviour. Having been ostracised from the family for unknown reasons, he had never known her. He moves in with a stranger, and his life is turned completely upside-down. The home is chaotic, noisy, and so filled with love.

At school, Adam is always smiling, he's always helpful, and always kind. He is a straight A student, and an excellent rugby player. Yet, no one really knows him. He is never seen with friends outside of school, nor does he attend social events. It is as though he doesn't exist outside of these walls.

His Aunt who regularly fosters children has her hands full with caring for children. One such boy is Chris, a smart and caring seventeen year-old in the same year as Adam at school. The boys are forced together in an unlikely of circumstances and Chris is pulled into the mysterious world of Adam Burke.

Would he be able to discover the truths of the beautiful boy loved by so many? Or will Adam's silence push him away?
