Have you ever wanted to be someone else? Be free from sorrow and pain, misfortune and mistakes, grief and suffering. Majority of this small town, Maplewood, is full of people like that; to drug addicts to the homeless, even to broken families and falling apart people. But no one, not a single tragedy at Maplewood, can compare to River Emerson.
The Paper boy.
After being put into Helen Becker's foster home, River has been at Maplewood High for years, and since he's been brought down to shame; made fun of and picked on, bullied for wearing a paper bag over his face.
But at least that's better than them seeing the truth. Everyone has secrets, and River's are tragic.
