Red Ribbon is a gritty coming-of-age story about three teenagers-Natoya, Jess, and Andrés-who push the limits of adolescence in the small, divided town of Mohave. What begins as innocent rebellion-talking back to parents, pushing boundaries, and seeking thrills-quickly escalates into more perilous territory. As they experiment with riskier acts, such as defying authority and using drugs, they become entangled in a web of unanticipated repercussions.
Natoya, a typical suburban girl testing the waters with her father, is eager to see how far she can go before making an irreversible decision. Jess, rejecting his life of luxury and emotional neglect, joins Andre, a street-smart boy from downtown Mohave who is desperate to save his friends and family from the harsh realities of their fate. Together, they explore a world of chaos, adrenaline, and self-discovery-where every action has a cost.
Red Ribbon tells a story of adventure that grows darker with each page. As the trio's irresponsible behavior develops, they understand that, while they have the freedom to pick their courses, their decisions will have far-reaching consequences for their own and others' lives. In a town where two extremes collide, they must confront the reality that adulthood is more than just freedom-it is about the weight of responsibility, the impact of their choices, and the consequences that follow.
After enduring years of neglect and cruelty from her mother and stepfather, Ariana's life changes drastically when tragedy brings her under the guardianship of five brothers she's never met and they never even knew they had a sister.
For her brothers, learning they have a sister is an unwelcome surprise. Suspicious and reluctant, her brothers see Aria as an outsider, a stranger disrupting the fragile balance of their lives.
For Aria, their home is both a new beginning and a constant reminder of the family that left her behind.
Haunted by the pain of her past, Aria struggles to adjust, her every action guarded and her trust hard to earn.
As her brothers try to understand her, they begin to glimpse the scars she hides and the strength she carries. Little by little, resentment turns to empathy, and the walls between them start to crumble. But just as the siblings begin to find common ground, the secrets and trauma of Aria's old life threaten to tear them apart. Together, they must decide whether they can overcome the shadows of the past to forge a family and whether Aria can finally find a place to belong.
