By the time Wavy is a teenager, her relationship with Kellen is the only tender thing in a brutal world of addicts and debauchery. After witnessing his motorcycle wreck, she forms an unusual friendship with one of her father's thugs, Kellen, a tattooed ex-con with a heart of gold. Obsessed with the constellations, she finds peace in the starry night sky above the fields behind her house, until one night her star gazing causes an accident. Struggling to raise her little brother, Donal, eight-year-old Wavy is the only responsible adult around. It's safer to keep her mouth shut and stay out of sight. As the daughter of a drug dealer, Wavy knows not to trust people, not even her own parents. A beautiful and provocative love story between two unlikely people and the hard-won relationship that elevates them above the Midwestern meth lab backdrop of their lives.
