"Nirvana means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's all that I've ever wanted."

It's not every day you meet a boy who is as pure as the sky whilst enduring the most painful things. Broken homes and dysfunctional families are nothing but normal. Comfort and peace is a privilege in the life of Louis. Being outcast by the other children makes life just a bit more bearable. When Shiloh comes around to turn Louis's life upside down. Where comfort and peace are terrifying and the prospect of happiness is a dream long lost.
