Seventeen-year-old Malisa Okafor has learned to survive the quiet: a mother who isn't there, a father who's only present when the bottle isn't, and a life in Nottingham that feels heavier every year. Music is her escape, her friends are her shield, and Keon Marshall --- the boy who loves her too softly --- is the only part of her world that feels steady.
But Malisa is hiding cracks she refuses to look at...
And Keon is hiding a past that's about to break into the present.
When secrets start slipping through the cracks ---at home, at college, and inside herself --- Malisa is forced to face the truth she's been running from:
You can only outrun your ruin for so long before it catches up.
A gritty, emotional UK drama about love, survival, and the weight of growing up before you're ready.
