Koko has always been alone, but never lonely-at least, that's what she tells herself. She drifts through life like a spectator, untouched and unbothered, her sharp tongue and sharper mind keeping everyone at arm's length. She moves with purpose, but only she knows where she's going.
Nova, as everyone calls him-is the same, but different. Distant in a way that's not intentional, lost in a world only he seems to understand. He doesn't care for attachments, doesn't care for much at all. Yet, for some reason, he sees Koko.
Two lives running parallel, two solitudes that should never intersect-until they do. A quiet glance, an unspoken understanding, a pull neither of them wants to acknowledge. And Koko, always one step ahead, has a plan. Because love isn't something she believes in, but control? Now, that's a different story.
"There's something about you that now I can't remember
It's the same damn thing that made my heart surrender
And I miss you on a train, I miss you in the morning
I never know what to think about
I think about you"
~~~~~~"About You" - The 1975
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.
