August used to be star student and beloved son until he murdered his step father and gets put in Mary Slessor Youth Detention Center to rot until he is an adult to stand trial properly. Too bad he is already counting down to the days he gets to kill himself and he's not going to let anyone talk him out of it, or fix him, not even Alisha, the girl he once knew.
Things don't go as planned for Alisha, hearts get broken, dreams get dashed, but life must go on, even if she doesn't want it to.
