Cracked

Daniel has some baggage. Okay, understatement. Daniel has a LOT of baggage. There are things about Daniel that he hasn't told a single soul. He knows he belongs in a therapy group, but he isn't sure if he's ready to open up enough to let himself get the help he needs.

Asia is cute. Really cute. Daniel realizes this the minute he lays eyes on him. But there are problems with romance at a therapeutic group home summer program. Especially when it's between two boys. Who happen to be roommates. One of whom apparently isn't ready to admit that he's gay.

And there's the problem of how much baggage Asia has, too. If the baggage in this house was visible and not metaphorical, there wouldn't be space to move. Too much baggage.

All ten kids in this house need help. Most of them are ready to receive it. But Daniel isn't sure.

When everyone else is opening up and telling deep dark secrets, Daniel is quiet during group time, staring off into space. He's starting to feel just a little bit broken.

Well, maybe "broken" is too strong a word. It's more like... cracked.
