A tough story of a young girl's journey from domestic violence to peace and safety

Lilly has to make a decision: choose between old friends and the gang of cool kids.

Mick and his high school friends call it street cleaning -- four of them beating up on one guy they don't like the looks of. Mick likes the action, but he'd rather be playing drums.

The odds are stacked against Melanie and Trent, who are trying to stay in high school while holding down part-time jobs to survive.

When Corey gets caught opening the boys' washroom window to let smoke out, he's resigned to being called a troublemaker.

Tara's got it made - good grades, cool parent's, a weekend job, and a boyfriend, Ron. Then, quite suddenly, many of the pieces of her perfect life start to crumble, including her stable, happy home.

Mikey has a terrible secret. His best friend, Jenny, knows that something is wrong.
