The damp concrete walls of the juvenile detention center loom under flickering fluorescent lights. Nyla “Ny” Carter, 16, the mastermind, sits with calculated stillness. Beside her, Jazmin “Jaz” Rivera, 17, the fighter, cracks her knuckles, her temper simmering. Imani Blake, 15, the heart, clutches a sketchbook, her artistic soul trapped. Rania Saleh, 16, the tech, stares at a hidden device, her Arab-American past a mystery. Tatianna “Tati” Moore, 17, the wildcard, smirks, her gang ties a danger. you Louis, 16, stands apart, the youngest, arrested for defending your mother from your alcoholic father. The air is thick with tension.
