He struggles with his inner demons, but manages to find reasons to keep going, to stay alive, and to experience the world with intensity.
Violet Markey: Grieving and Searching for a Future
Violet Markey is consumed by grief after the tragic death of her sister. She counts down the days until graduation, dreaming of escaping her small town and the painful memories that haunt her. Her life is a series of routines and rituals, a shield against the raw emotions that threaten to overwhelm her.
A Chance Encounter with Life-Changing Consequences
Their paths collide on the ledge of the school's bell tower, six stories above the ground. In this moment of shared vulnerability, they find a connection that transcends their individual struggles.
