"When he looked at me, I finally felt like someone saw the good in me, not something totally worthless."
18 year old, Genevieve Isabelle Hopkins does everything she can not to provoke her abusive, drunken father to hammer down on her day in and day out. Ever since Genevieve's mother died in a car accident, her father has been in a state of drunken emotional turmoil.
Not only has Genevieve become her father's personal punching bag, she has become the sponge. Anything done wrong is her fault. Anything said wrong earns a verbal thrashing, shaking her to her core to stay strong and true to who she is. Genevieve no longer feels that life is worth living or that she is worth it. The only reason she has for living is for her memory of her mother and her little 14 year old sister, Annabelle.
That is, until her best friend Michelle Erlöser gets great tickets to their favorite band: Black Veil Brides.
