Summary:A teen's road to mental wellness begins when he wakes up in a mental health facility following a break. Why is 17-year-old Klee Alden (pronounced "clay," like the painter) facing two weeks at the Adolescent Inpatient Center at Northhollow? Klee feels guilty about his father's suicide. His sense of inadequacy is heartbreaking: if Klee had tried harder, maybe his father would still be here. His father suffered from undiagnosed depression. Is Klee, whose own illness isn't clearly defined, doomed to follow in his footsteps?
