Gradually, he becomes a victim-turned-villain at his school and gets into various fights with the other guys who mocks him. After a certain event that made him known as a criminal in his school, Kale gets ignored by most of his classmates and feels left out.
That is, until eleventh grade.
The entry of Rose Bilton into his life changes him for the better. A person with determination and personality, Rose attracts Kale with her charming smile and mentoring. She changes his personality to the old Kale again, but not before making him realise that he can defend himself without being ruthless. That he isn't a monster.
Join Rose's and Kale's journey as they venture into a friendship that turns into a one-sided love - something that never really fades away.
