CJ is a Black teenage basketball star with a killer work ethic and a secret he can't shake-off the court, he's fighting a depression that no one sees. Not his coaches. Not his teammates. Not even his mom. His only refuge? A worn notebook filled with poetry-raw, honest, and bleeding with everything he's too afraid to say out loud.
Then there's J-a girl with fire in her eyes and shadows in her soul. CJ loves her deeply, but she's not here to save him. She's barely holding herself together. This isn't a fairytale. It's not about heroes. It's about two broken kids trying to find something real in a world that keeps letting them fall.
