Editor's Pick
Seventeen-year-old Blue Lannigan believes in exactly one thing: his two younger brothers deserve more than the crappy apartment and abusive, drunken mother they're stuck with. And when he comes home to find one brother bruised and bleeding (again), the other cowering in terror (again) and their mother drunk off her ass, blaming all three of them for her tanked singing career (again), Blue decides waiting until he's 18 to leave is no longer an option. Deciding to hole up in an empty house at the lake until Blue can figure out what to do next, things get more complicated when the owner of the house arrives unexpectedly. Especially when Blue realizes the unconscious woman they've tied up on the couch isn't a stranger after all, but someone who could give him just what he's looking for. After avoiding reality and playing house, a scene at the grocery store lands him in handcuffs and his brothers with a social worker. Add to that losing his job and being stuck in a group home he hates, and Blue's sole purpose becomes finding his brothers and getting them out of whatever hellhole they're in. Blue's hopes unravel, and betrayal rips his heart in two as he tries to reconcile the role he plays in his brothers' lives while trying to figure out his own.
