Chevy Blake isn't your topically teenage girl, she doesn't go out and have parties and she doesn't go to football games. Instead she stays home and takes care of her 2 year old brother and parents who she has to make she they don't kill themselves by overdose. But the reality is she doesn't know how to cop with this because its only getting worse and it doesn't help the fact that she's over weight but beautiful. The only thing she had is her best friend and little brother that keeps her going but it's not enough and she feels all is lost. Until she meets Cody, a huge pitch black walking horse, who catches her eyes when her friend's horse is put into the same pasture. Can Cody heal her in time or will she crumble in her parents mistakes?
