Every story ends, some just end before they should. Suicidal thoughts plague ten-year-old Max at the end of the toughest summer break of his life. With his best friend gone for the summer, Max discovers a kid's social networking site. He makes tons of friends, the best among them, Malia. Not wanting to risk any of his new friendships, he makes a series of bad choices, pushing him to thoughts of suicide. Malia, being an eleven-year-old victim of depression herself, tries to help Max as best she can. But with a troubled home life, she swings from being Max's protector and mentor one day to his personal bully the next.
