Once upon a time in the city of the world, there lived a girl named Olive. She was a simple girl who wanted to live a simple life true to who she was. She was beautiful to all she met, however, she didn't think there was anything special about her. Her skin was the color of a freshly made cup of hot chocolate, and her hair bounced all over the curls untamable. She lived with her mother, Mrs. Shino a woman of hard work and traditions. They lived in the luxurious part of town in a house bright and extravagant on the outside, but hollow and cold within. Like all daughters of the rich and affluent families, Olive had standards and expectations to meet each day. If she walked out of line or said anything out of term, her mother would remind her of the proper manners. One day, Olive came to the realization of something that would change her entire existence.

Olive "Olly" Marks is seventeen, about to be homeless and desperate for his parents' affection. This desperation drives him to be the perfect child he feels they deserve, but after failing time and time again, he gives up. He isn't the son they want. His hair is too long, his features are too soft and he had never once experienced the joy of a playing a sport, how could he be the source of their pride when everyone else thinks he's a girl the moment they see him? Three weeks before his birthday, he meets a homeless man and impulsively invites him over just to have some company. What he doesn't expect is that meeting him once is not enough. As their trust in each other grows, Olly's world begins to unravel. He starts to realize that it was never 'his' world to begin with. There is so much he doesn't know about the city he had spent ten years of his life in, so much he doesn't know about the parents that are so cruel to him, so much he doesn't know about himself...
