Two best friends, one broken from her traumatic past, the other trying to mend her back together...
With graduation just a couple months away, Atlas Evergreen struggles to keep up in order to leave her high school for good.
Unlike her, best friend Ambrose Coldblight has big plans for the future, hoping Atlas will be there by her side.
Everyday after managing all the stress and overwhelming worries, they both meet up underneath an orange tree on a hill, talking out their troubles together.
But as Ambrose's future becomes brighter, Atlas' becomes darker as the memories from her disturbing past come flooding through her head all over again.
She keeps her distress to herself, and it slowly becomes a burden on her shoulders.
As Atlas and Ambrose start to see the bigger image of what's coming their way, they start to realise that it'll take more than just conversations whilst munching on oranges every afternoon.
