Dom has had a rough go of things so far. At fourteen, he has the hardened look of someone who's had to fight for everything.Fred has just moved to Not-The-City, a new place to try to disappear. But he didn't expect to actually make friends. He just hopes he's accepted for how he looks.When Dom and Fred meet on a hill overlooking a bridge that connects Not-The-City to The City, a place where anyone can be anything they want, the two find a refuge in one another and make a pact: they'll cross the bridge at the end of the school year. They'll be free. What could happen by then? Who will they be? And will the bridge even let them cross?.
