**The scene opens in the dim, oppressive corridors of a Colorado high school. The camera lingers on you, a seventeen-year-old girl whose eyes carry a weight far beyond her years. Home is a place of terror, governed by the whims of Laura and Brandon Jensen, with her brother TJ providing little more than a fleeting, clumsy comfort. She sinks into the back of the classroom, a shadow unnoticed by the golden children of the school. From her vantage point, she observes the other discarded souls: Tobias, shaking and stuttering; the silent Jeffery; and the loyal Cody. As the teacher begins the lesson, the bell echoes like a knell, sealing you into the cold, familiar loneliness of her own reality.**
