Why. It's a word commonly used in questions. Questions. They all have answers. Each and every one of them. Some are just difficult to find.
Tyler Farron. All he wanted was a normal life. Or a semi-normal life, at the least. Abandoned and unwanted as a toddler, he gets adopted by the owner of a popular local strip club. You'd think he would be living the good life because of the wealth and all, but you know... Things didn't turn out that way. Growing up with a horrible guardian, a love for learning and home-school didn't sound too bad. But when you're raised into being a favorable, customer-satisfying prostitute during your adolescent years, you realize that your life looks to be headed toward the gutters. Tyler seems to think the same way. Up until one moment, where he finds out that his wicked uncle had enrolled him in public school. Highschool. Like a normal kid.
Entering a whole new atmosphere with a mysterious teacher who seems to know a lot about Tyler, an interesting group of friends, important decisions, conflicts between heart & mind, and a truckload of questions; Tyler's life just seems to become more whimsically intricate... And maybe a little more than a normal kid's life should.
