    Summary

    Shane is admitted against his will after his world becomes too loud to survive.

    Ilya has already learned that survival and living are not the same thing.

    Forced to share a room in an adolescent psychiatric ward, two boys with very different kinds of damage learn that understanding can arrive in unexpected places - and that healing is rarely gentle.

    Or : Shane gets assigned the angry Russian boy with a history of fighting with roommates, Ilya gets stuck with the anxious Canadian who stares too much, and somehow an involuntary psychiatric admission becomes the place where they find friendship, understanding, and eventually love.
