The boy looked up at Dick with such empty, lifeless eyes that he had to stop himself from kneeling down and giving the teen a hug.

Dick helps (or tries to help) a young boy named Garfield Logan after an unexpected encounter under very bad circumstances. Gar's recent past isn't all that it seems to be.

Dick and Kory try to act as a light to guide Gar out of the darkness where he's called worthless, unneeded, a freak for reasons he can't understand. And Dick'll do anything to save him from succumbing to that darkness.
