“Charlie Davis carries the weight of profound emotional distress. Despite being just seventeen, she has endured a level of pain and loss that surpasses what many experience in a lifetime. To cope with the overwhelming emotions, Charlie resorts to self-harm, finding momentary solace through cutting. In those moments of pain, her sorrow and anguish momentarily dissipate, replaced by a temporary sense of calm. This coping mechanism serves as a shield, allowing her to avoid confronting the painful memories of her father’s actions and a traumatic incident beneath a bridge. Alongside these burdens, she carries the heartache of losing her best friend, Ellis, forever, and facing a mother who seemingly has nothing more to offer her.
However, Charlie’s life takes an unexpected turn when she is compelled to leave a special treatment center due to the expiration of her insurance coverage. This decision leads her to Tucson, Arizona, where the vibrant and untamed environment opens the door to a fresh start. Here, Charlie embarks on a remarkable and brave journey, seeking to reconstruct herself and her life from the fragments left by her distressing past. Armed with strength and resilience, she confronts the daunting task of piecing herself back together, gradually healing the wounds that have haunted her for an extended period.”
