Ryder Meyers is like a porcelain doll. Lifeless, and made of glass that could shatter with a snap of a finger. Sitting on the shelf, collecting dust, and waiting for someone to pick him up, and show him admiration, to brighten up his world of black and white.

But nobody does.

So he just lays there, helpless and hopeless. Only finding comfort in his father's dangerous business. He had no close friends, so the thought of bringing anybody into danger was far from his mind.

Until April came barging into his life, showing him the light he could never see. April helps Ryder through his darkness, giving him hope that he can be dragged away from the dark.

But one event after the other, and soon enough Ryder and April have a dead body in the news, the police chasing after them, a mixed amount of drama, and messed up love between the two.

Will the two survive? Or will they collapse under the pressure?
