an introduction

Benjamin Washington.

A 17 year old boy who recently got kicked out of his parent's home.

Now living with his best friend Usnavi and Usnavi's cousin Sonny, he tries to get his life back on track.

He hates high school more than anything, but there is one thing he doesn't hate about it:

Nina Rosario. A 17 year old girl who loves to sing and write. Her parents love her and give her anything she has ever wanted. She has it all.

Can Benny keep up his schoolwork, social life, love life, and family problems?

Can Nina try to prove that there's a lot more to her life than her parents and her exemplary work?
