The Bruises You Don't See (ScarlettJohanssonxDaughterfigure)

Some stars don't just shine-they save.

Seventeen-year-old Lilly has spent her life running-from towns, from memories, from the silence left behind when her mother died of an overdose. Her once-bright world dimmed into something cold and brittle. Now, caught in the storm of a father who works too much, cares too little, and sometimes hurts too hard, Lilly drifts-through towns, schools, and years.

Each move of her small family brings another new beginning, but Lilly's soul is tired of starting over. The friends are fleeting, the nights too cold, and the pain-always close behind. Cigarettes numb it. Alcohol drowns it. But nothing stops the ache.

She runs-especially when the nights get too loud or the memories too sharp.

One evening, after a nightmare and another argument, Lilly runs until she can't anymore. Breathless and alone, she turns back-only to catch a glimpse of something that will change everything:

A quiet driveway across from her own.
A black car.
And Scarlett Johansson stepping out of it.
