All Skye wants is to start over and live a normal life. But, running away from your demons always leads to meeting them again, just in a different mask. "I dream of flying away. Like the birds above, gliding, looping, free. I dream of what I can not have. I can never be free, not truly. Especially here. The summer after my graduating year at high school, stuck. Too poor to continue school, jobless, and about to be kicked out. But I still dream."

In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.
