For Lucie, her cell in Silver Cloud Juvenile Hall is only one of her prisons. After losing her boyfriend, Caelum, in a hit-and-run accident, every shred of happiness slipped out of her hands. Their son, Rodrigo, is one of the few rays of light in Lucie's never-ending darkness. But the separation from him and the rest of her family pushes her further down a harrowing spiral. Lucie's passion for poetry has always been one of her anchors, but ever since the suffering she endured at the hands of her former teacher, Ms Fitzgerald, even the thought of picking up a pen paralyses her. When Lucie befriends a new resident named Dahlia, they form an unbreakable bond. But when heartbreaking events cut their friendship short, will Lucie be able to lift herself up again? And do silver linings exist in places where not even the tiniest stream of daylight can enter?
