   Summary

   Steve Harrington is very good at playing a role.

   He knows how to smile, how to stand in front, how to take the hit so others don't have to. What he doesn't know is how to stop being haunted by the boy he used to be.

   Some pasts don't stay buried. Some places remember you back.
