A chance encounter interlocks these two teenagers lives. Kariina Pope has gotten used to being cold, and she's used being hungry. She's gotten familiar with the constant staring too. After all, she's been living on the streets for two years now. The two lonely years have stripped her of hope. She lives on the streets, and if someone doesn't help her soon, she'll probably die there too. At sixteen they have both lost their childhood and all hope. If Caine Foster is used to anything, it's being alone. Since he was seven years old he's been looking after himself whilst his mother drinks until she passes out on their living room sofa every day. He's lost any hope he ever had for a real future. Because of his less than fortunate past he wants to help people who have suffered in similar ways. How can he, when he can't even help himself? Is there hope after all? Both teenagers have secrets and pasts that they're not proud of, but together maybe they can help each other accept their faults.
