Harley knows better than to cry in front of anyone. With suicide now an international epidemic, one outburst could land her in The Program, the only proven course or treatment. Harley's parents have already lost one child; Harley knows they'll do anything to keep her alive. She also knows that everyone who's been through The Program returns as a blank slate. Because their depression is gone- but so are their memories. Under constant surveillance at home and school, Harley puts on a brave face and keeps her feeling buried as deep as she can. The only person Harley can be herself with is Brandon Hoover. He's promised to keep them both safe and out of treatment, and Harley knows their love is strong enough to withstand anything. But despite the promises they've made to each other, it's getting harder to hide the truth. They are both growing weaker. Depression is setting in.
