Welcome to Dream Wood Institute: a home for young adults in need of psychiatric help. The patients are all in the 'mental home' for different reasons and come from very different backgrounds.

Seemingly normal, yet depressed, Star 'smiler' Jones, joins Dream Wood for the first time at the age of fifteen. She is forced to share a room with the ball of crazy that is Rain Bow who had belonged to the home for ten years.

Boys, friends, drugs, sex, arguments, knives, rope and beds all get in the way of the unorthodox friendship blossoming between the unlikely friends. Will Rain finally find the courage to accept help? Or will she just drag Star down the same path she's on?
