He never wanted to step into the role of a hero, until the day he meets Raven, a girl whose quiet traumatic past unknowingly set him down that very path. As Derrick grows closer to Raven, he uncovers disturbing truths: her pain isn't isolated but there are others who've suffered similar trauma, their voices silenced. Determined to seek justice for the victims, Derrick embarks on a journey he never asked for, one that forces him to confront not only the darkness outside but around him. Alongside his brother Alex, Derrick must stay ahead of Pandora, a secretive organization that hunts people like them. Their fight becomes even more complicated when they cross paths with another gifted individual someone who shares their desire to take Pandora down, and who ends up showing them their world might be bigger than they thought. At its heart, Where We Belong is a story about trust, healing, finding connection and self discovery in a world determined to tear it away. It's as much about uncovering conspiracies as it is about discovering where and with whom you truly belong.
