Synopsis

Joey Lynch has always been a protector. He rebuilds what is broken. When his older brother Darren leaves town, twelve-year-old Joey finds that he must watch over his younger siblings and mother. As he enters his teen years, his struggles intensify, with Joey toeing the line of addiction, all while being dutiful to his family. His boss's daughter becomes the one thing keeping him afloat. She's unapologetically herself, and even though he doesn't want to get involved with her, he can't keep away. Aoife Molloy is bubbly and self-assured. On her first day of secondary school, she meets a hot-headed boy who sparks a new burning curiosity within her, a boy who happens to work for her father. It's a bad idea to mess about with him, but her interest grows by the day. As a complicated friendship ensues, Aoife begins to discover the secrets attached to Joey Lynch's life, all while he desperately fights to keep her out.
