When Marty decides that the "preppy" lifestyle is not for him, he dyes his hair, changes his clothes, and surrounds himself with new people who share a similar punk taste. Little does he know that there is more to these kids behind the black outfits and torn-up beanies; an evil secret that Marty unfortunately wraps himself up into. He becomes swallowed up into the pain, terror, and crime of the life that he has chosen for himself. Can he make it all go away, or will he be confined to the darkness forever?
After the death of someone truly important to him, Gerard is left lonely and depressed, wondering whether or not it's worth it to keep living. One day however, Gerard meets Frank, who happens to fall out of a tree while Gerard is walking to school and nearly crushes him. The two get along quite well, even though their personalities are practically exact opposites.
As time passes by, Frank begins to learn more about Gerard and what he's going through, but will he be able to save him in time?
