Five adolescents hailing from various regions of the nation. Three females. Two men. Four in a row. One homosexual. Some wealthy. Some are not so good. A few from excellent families. Some with absolutely no one. Everyone is doing the best they can in life, yet they are all yearning for freedom, security, love, community, and family. However, they are unaware of the potential consequences that arise when the poignant phrase "I love you" is spoken for the wrong motives.
Five poignant tales begin as standalone pieces, then come together to make a bigger, more impactful tale about maturing, making decisions, taking risks, and falling. An account of children learning the truth about love and sex at any costs while pondering the question, "Can I ever feel okay about myself?"
