Synopsis

Milow has lived in silence since her father took her voice, carrying scars that few can understand. When she moves into a new foster home, she finds an unexpected ally in Ashby, a boy who recognizes her pain because he carries his own. As they grow up together, their childhood friendship evolves into a deep bond that must withstand the pressures of school and the cruelty of the world around them.
