Surviving life is a whole new ballpark when Maibel Archer, an eleven year-old girl who has been mute since the age of three, is whip-lashed as her world gets completely flipped upside down when she finds herself sent to live with her 7 older brothers. Growing up, life was never easy for her, with a dead mother, an abusive father and a kind yet much older brother who wasn't home much. Her only safe haven was the kind Korean family next door. Now placed in a whole new city, in a literal mansion, with seven older boys who are complete strangers to her, she learns to navigate life and unlearns the life she once lived. Secrets only stay hidden for long especially when she becomes the centre of her biological brothers' lives. She stopped talking when everyone stopped listening, but now with 7 sets of ears there's only so much that gets past them. Would they be able to save their little sister before the world swallows her whole? Would they hear her cries? Would they listen?

"Fine," she said. "If you won't take me seriously like this, I'll go put on my mafia outfit." Sloane squinted at her. "Your what?" "My mafia outfit." Before either of them could stop her, Lila jumped off the bed and ran out of the room. ____ Three minutes later, Lila came back. And Blair nearly spat out her coffee. Because apparently, "mafia outfit" meant she had dressed entirely in black-black cargo pants, a black long-sleeve shirt, black socks, and... Sunglasses. Inside. At breakfast time. Lila stood in the doorway like she had just stepped out of the world's least threatening action movie. "Well?" Sloane looked at her for a long moment. Then at Blair. Then back at Lila. "...No." Lila frowned. "What do you mean no?!" "I mean you look like a twelve-year-old trying to rob a gas station."
