" I still look at our old pictures of you, me and Amber. Sure, we were never rich, but we were happy. I guess there's no such thing as a happy family - not a permanent one ,,
--------------
A family so secretive, a story lost to the ruins of time, a house so vacant.
Until you came. After nine years you still want to know what happened before your father drank himself to the edge, you still want to know where your dad went.
But the truth is cruel, and the truth is all that is real. Truth kills more than time.

Chicago had never greeted the Valentines with open arms. Instead it greeted them with a slap in the face and reality served on a silver platter. Living with such a large family and such a small income was harder than anyone could have imagined especially when your best form of income comes from your mom being a hooker.
Alexander is a middle child in the large family. At the prime age of fourteen he's starting to become confused about many things in his life such as where he fits in, what he wants to do when he's older and his sexuality.
Nolan is in the same boat. Though he is not part of the Valentine family he got the privilege of living down the street from them. He had a slightly smaller family with only a slightly better income. But the only things Nolan feels he needs is astronomy, books and his best friend Alexander who is always getting them into trouble.
