Still, Maddie is also an artist who draws on instinct and intuition to create the collages she makes from photographs and the castoff scraps she saves. But when her brother falls in with a Los Angeles street gang, Maddie loses her ability to create art.

Aiden is haunted by the death of his younger brother, and a life-changing decision he must now make-whether or not to keep his baby daughter.
