Summary: Sixteen-year-old Steve Harmon faces a harrowing trial for murder, accused of being a lookout in a fatal robbery. As he navigates the courtroom and the harsh realities of juvenile detention, Steve copes by scripting his life as a movie. But as the lines between reality and fiction blur, he must confront the truth about himself and the choices that led him here. Will he find clarity, or will the system define him as a monster forever? Dive into this gripping tale of identity, justice, and the power of perception.
