No one would think Elijah Parker has superpowers. He spends most of his days in bed avoiding his abusive father and his nights playing guitar alone in his room. To the world, Eli is entirely unremarkable, but Madeline Snow never agreed with the rest of the world. As a painter, she's learned from empty canvases that the extraordinary always starts with the ordinary.
When the artist and the musician are assigned to work on a project together, Eli suddenly has a reason to wake up in the morning, and Maddie has something she can't stop painting: their song. It's a small fire keeping two lonely people warm as a hurricane of baggage swirls around them.
And of course, things get worse before they get better. Eli's father is the only thing more out of control than Eli's mental health. Maddie's family collapses around her, and she retreats deeper and deeper into herself. They both grasp for any source of happiness that will keep them afloat in this storm: serotonin, alcohol, dopamine, art, love, and acid. Because that's what works for everyone else, right?
Right?
