Counter Composure

(BXB) Noel struggles with a bad temper and outbursts, and just wants to be left alone. But everything changes halfway through his senior year of high school. His Dad's job has forced Noel and his family to move to a small and absurdly wealthy town in Connecticut, putting his life out of place.

It doesn't help that his eye-catching neighbor Lucas, who turns out to have the personality of a devil, has it out for him. Even worse, Noel's worst fear comes true as the striking boy can see right through his pain, brining out unwanted feelings.

The two boys may have a lot more in common than meets the eye, both hurt in different ways, but hurt all the same. As tensions heat up, the question is: who will lose their composure first?
