Secrets

"The worst part about anything that's self-destructive is that it's so intimate. You become so close with your addictions and illnesses that leaving them behind is like killing the part of yourself that taught you how to survive."

"Something else is hurting you-that's why you need pot or whiskey or screaming music turned so fucking loud that you don't have to hear yourself think."

Poppy Montgomery is an 18 year old senior in high school and she is the unofficial caretaker of her 6 year old brother Wren. Knox Parker is an 18 year old senior in high school and he is the unofficial caretaker of his 5 ½ year old sister Rose. Both go to the same school, but could not have anything else in common. Poppy is student body president with a squeaky clean record and a reputation to match. Knox is that high school jock who couldn't care less about school as long as he's first string on the football, baseball, and lacrosse teams and has girls ready for him any time of the night. However, both of them have their own secrets, and each has a way to cope with the life they're given. Will they be able to save each other from their demons or will they sink further down with no hope to breathe above water?
