Her older brother, Atlas, is the one who keeps them both afloat-protecting her and their 6-year-old brother, Neo, from the chaos of their abusive father.

While Atlas works to keep a roof over their heads, Riley faces bullying at school and the constant strain of their broken home. Neo, who has autism, struggles to find his place in the world, often retreating into himself to escape the noise around him.

But as tensions grow and their father's temper worsens, Riley finds herself caught in the middle, powerless and afraid. With Atlas fighting to keep them safe, can the siblings survive the storm brewing in their own home, or will it tear them apart?All Rights Reserved
