Valerie, Ethan, and Archie have been inseparable since childhood. Ethan is the heart of their trio, Archie is the one always looking out for everyone, and Valerie is the girl trying to keep up with them both. But while Valerie has spent years secretly crushing on Archie, she doesn't know he's been carrying confusing feelings of his own. Haunted by his parents' constant fighting and convinced that love only leads to pain, Archie keeps Valerie at arm's length, hiding behind the excuse that she's "too young." As the three friends grow up together, their unbreakable bond is tested by family struggles, changing feelings, and the realization that some relationships can never stay the same forever. Sometimes, the people who feel most like home are also the ones you're most afraid to lose.
