The students at Polk Chester High are in uproar after junior Blake Gladly kills herself. There have been suicidal incidents in the school before, but nobody ever really talks about the s-word. now it's being forced into a dizzying light. Morgan didn't really know her. She saw Blake in the hallways. She waved every once and a while. They weren't friends. So when Morgan tries and force herself into Blake's funeral she ends up just sitting on the curb at the other end of the street. This is when she meets Henry Gladly, Blake's older brother; obsessed with trying to find the reason Blake killed herself. Morgan is caught up in his whimsical distress; forced into the same light he is. This isn't a love story. It's not a horror story, it's not a sweet story but it's about hope. It's about hope and the human condition that prevents our culture from being able to talk about the s-word. The suicide word. Suicide.
