Life just can't get worse for Jennifer White, Austin Millards, and Deborah James. All are victims of bullies, and dealing with their own personal problems.  Through all the layers of bad, each of them has their own way of relief and paradise. Together in each other's worlds in ways they've never noticed, these three will stand together in a world against them.  Meet Deborah: So, how does it feel, having someone so close and blood-related to turn on you once intoxicated? Painful; Deborah James could tell you personally. Bruises cover her arms everyday, wearing long-sleeves to hide her life. But she's fierce, fiery and full of the fear she lives with; and sometimes she thinks, maybe one day, she'll be free of it all. Meet Austin: The weight, the braces, the loneliness. It all haunts Austin Millards every night, crying himself to sleep with the radio. Austin can't figure the secret to popularity, and can't pull himself to try. But every once in a while, life is giving and could Austin finally gain the social life he never had? Meet Jennifer: Illiterate, stupid, dumb, unfit; Jennifer White has been called all of these - only because a silly mind disorder has her plagued. Dyslexia. Jennifer ponders every day: "How could something so small, affect something so large?" Why should something like having problems interpreting words, turn the tables and she can't make any friends? It doesn't make sense. With one shadow of a thousand wounds, these three are under the radar together, unable to break the seam of judgement, to be themselves.

Growing up in a toxic environment, sixteen-year-old Jay Foster has always had psychological problems, coupled with a quick temper. But one night something happens which finally pushes him over the edge, and as a result, he leaves his house the next morning with two things: his mother's gun and a plan. Living with a neglectful and drug addicted mother wasn't easy for Jay, and it definitely didn't help that his father abandoned the family while he was still a child. He harbored a hatred toward his parents, and that hatred extended to almost everyone and everything around him, producing a very troubled and damaged young kid. As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler. Mikayla is very unique, and like Jay, she doesn't seem to fit in with her contemporaries. Instead, the two of them keep each other company, and their friendship very quickly escalates into a romantic and intimate relationship. Despite having Mikayla, Jay's troubles continue to burden him. He and Mikayla are fighting habitually, his home life is still unbearable, and his time at school is hardly any better, made worse by a bully named Calvin. Their mutual dislike of one another leads to a lot of hostility, routinely leading to Jay being sent to his school's principal. One confrontation in particular goes much too far, resulting in Jay's expulsion from school. With everything seemingly piling up, Jay is very close to his breaking point, and late one night he is blindsided by the unthinkable, pushing him much too far and effectively planting in his mind a cruel and horrific plan for revenge.

As Emma entered the school, she saw Josh approaching her. He had a distressed and upset look on his face. "Can I talk to you for a second?" he asked. "Sure?" Emma agreed. Her heart started beating faster as she wondered what was wrong. "I thought we agreed to keep out relationship secret," Josh stated. "We are," Emma told him. "I haven't told anyone..." "Then how come the whole school knows about us?" Josh demanded, his blue eyes narrowed. He was visibly angry but trying to keep his cool. "Are you serious?!" Emma cried, a shocked expression on her face. "I swear the only person who knew about us was Lizzie!" Then it hit Emma like a brick wall. Lizzie must have gone blabbering about her and Josh. Emma had clearly told Lizzie not to tell anyone, especially Kendra and her friends. "Lizzie...." Josh mused. "You're friends with that weirdo?" "Yeah...." Emma replied, ashamed. "I specifically told her not to tell anyone either! That bitch!" Anger started flaring up as Emma tried to sort it all out in her head. "That's why I told you to keep our relationship a secret!" Josh cried. "You can't trust anyone around here!" "I know, I messed up!" Emma sobbed, covering her face as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry Josh! This doesn't mean we have to break up, does it?" She gazed up at Josh with teary, sad blue eyes. "Unfortunately, yes," Josh stated regretfully. "Now that Kendra and her friends know, we can't see each other anymore. I'm sorry, Emma."
