"I like people. I don't like their words though. Words are only a visual representation of someone's thoughts. We humans, we're just sinners with twisted minds. And we all know you can't let the chaos trapped in there to get out. So we lie, and hide things from those who care about us, and say things we don't mean because while you're busy trying to get everyone to like you, you forget to like yourself. You get to the point where you start to believe your own charade, and all those lies were real, and every hidden thought becomes your demons. You see, we're all an illusion. An illusion of who we want to be..."
Leighton's mind is a battlefield. Betrayal and loss left her in a state of silence. Along her path she calls life, she happens to run into an old friend named Donovan. With subtle attempts to show her a side of humanity she's never come to recognize, he unintentionally finds a deeper yearning to her existence.
