all we've been through

Tommy has been a "problem child" his entire life. He's lived in more foster homes than he can count on both hands, and escaped the system at thirteen years old. Now, at sixteen, he's thrown right back in, shuttled off to a middle-of-nowhere town. On the surface, it looks perfectly ordinary, but Tommy can tell there's more than meets the eye. Lucky he's always had a good head for facts.

A group of children race through the streets, cold and hungry and alone, trying to escape both the police and their toxic households. They struggle to keep their heads above water, especially as they discover that trouble follows them.
