Martin Collins is not his real name. Neither is Lucas Martin or a dozen other names they have called him for years. He has reached a point where his name doesn't even mean anything to him. Because no matter how many times he changes all of himself he still remains with the same darkness of his past in his heart. He still is the boy with six fingers, the boy with unhealed scars. 
Andrea Lauren is not a runner. Yet when her past mistake follows her all the way to college all she has is her two legs to trust. She knows her time is almost up. She knows it is only a matter of time before everyone she loves turns against her. And there isn't a long enough road to run the fear off of her system. 
Arda is a run away,stuck with his idiotic,stubborn best friend. His scars tell him he is a survivor,his family calls him a dissapointment. What does his heart say? Perhaps he doesn't even have one anymore.
Linda is not her brother. She is self centered and too honest for her own good. She doesn't know what it means to be compassionate. Is it something she should've learned until now? Or can a 13 year old be excused for abusing everyone around her?
