1999. Toko Ashford is seventeen, permanently high, permanently bruised, and somehow everybody loves him anyway. He spends his nights avoiding home, where every conversation with his abusive mother ends in another screaming match. His friends are the closest thing he has to a family—loud, reckless outsiders trying to survive their own disasters. But as secrets surface and cracks begin to show, Toko learns that pretending you’re okay only works for so long. Some people break quietly. Others make sure everyone hears it.
