When Deon's temper gets him kicked out of their foster home, Isadora and her friends-Luna, Ellie, and James-make a daring choice to escape and face the streets as a makeshift family.
 What begins as a quest for freedom quickly descends into a struggle for survival in the dark heart of the city, where secrets linger in the shadows and danger seems to follow them at every turn.
 As they navigate this treacherous world, the weight of an unsettling incident hangs over them, creating an invisible barrier between their hopes and reality. 

Amidst the chaos, a subtle tension simmers between Isadora and Deon, hinting at something deeper that neither fully understands, complicating their fight for survival and leaving them to wonder if their bond is a source of strength-or a dangerous distraction.

The group must rely on each other to navigate a world that's harsher than anything they've ever known. As they search for a place to belong, they'll confront not only the threats around them but also the shadows of their own pasts that refuse to let go...
