The Berd family has four children who get along well with one another—except for Reese, a gloomy, withdrawn one who stands out among them.
Meg doesn’t really understand her brother. In fact, Rory, Beth, and their parents avoid him too. Because Reese has a secret. A secret that makes the neighbors keep their distance from him.
