imperfect paradise

"But it made you stronger."
I was a child, I didn't need to be stronger. I needed to be loved.

From outsiders they are a nice successful family, living in Hawaii, who are always able to get along. The fifteen year old living with a loving mother and older siblings who would do anything for her.

But they aren't able to see how the mother is rarely home; and the rest of the sibling are trying to live there life. Leaving Thea, to live off of leftover takeout in the fridge and the monthly groceries her eldest brother brings.

And the hope that someday someone will truly care for her enough to stay.

The family has secrets, dark ones that are brimming the surface and threatening major issues. They have tried to shield Thea from these secrets in the past, but what happens when they suddenly are finding her themselves.

Between beach parties, love triangles, and surfing her life can't get any more packed. But for her what's one more thing to take on?

IMPERFECT PARADISE.
