Villains aren't born, they are made. They emerge from the dark recesses of the human experience: abuse, trauma, neglect, and unhealed wounds that fester over time. For Xavier, these scars, hidden beneath the surface, twisted and distorted a once-innocent heart.
Xavier has always known he was a mistake. Born to a promiscuous, drug-addicted mother, his hellish childhood in a radically religious and abusive household drove him in and out of institutions, until he finally escaped at the age of 16.Isolated in a world where betrayal was the only constant, Xavier's only refuge is in his music and art...until he meets Avry. In him, Xavier finds something he's never found in anyone else: acceptance. With a bond forged in shared pain and tragedy, the two runaways embark on an adventure across the country, seeking freedom and solace in each other's company, causing chaos every step of the way. But everything changes in New Orleans when Xavier meets Delia, whose past included things of the macabre, laced with heroin. Together Delia and Xavier begin a vicious drug and sex-induced downward spiral, awakening the demons that had long resided in his soul. Can he summon the strength to fight back the darkness and torment that haunt him, or will he forever be consumed by their relentless grip? Trigger Warnings: Abuse, sexual assault, suicide, self harm, addiction, violent imagery
