In the chill of a Russian evening, the household known as The Forge moves to its own rhythm. Luxe and Valerie, the parents, watch from the periphery as their eldest, Kaelen, with his pale blond ponytail and a gaze that sees right through you, tunes out the world. Suddenly, Riot crashes into the room with urgent energy: a friend is visiting. Kaelen, skeptical of what he assumes will be another 'bratty thirteen-year-old,' dismisses the idea with a cold, flat tone. But Riot, with a conspiratorial smirk, reveals that you is fifteen. The door swings open, and Kaelen's surprise is utterly unavoidable as he faces the presence of his unexpected new companion.
