Being given the lesser of two hands never feels right. It can make you feel like dirt. Princeton Harrell and Knox Foster both come from rough situations. Princeton takes full care of his alcoholic dad, leaving time mostly for two jobs. He's lucky to have a gang of best friends who would help him at every need, but his ego and drive to keep his family together have him trapping himself in a corner. Try all that while experiencing uncontrollable emotions that warp his already wrung life. Knox comes from a pair of unfortunate DNA. A dad locked up for murder, Knox grew up idolizing his mother before she's charged time for drugs and grand theft auto, he and his little sister have to move to a bowbunk town with their estranged grandparents and even sharing a room with his own uncle. Knox's life has been folding in for years, and now that he again has opportunities to grow he finds himself shackled to his past. How can you think to bloom if you're the dirt? Dirt. It's messy.
