Summary:
After a childhood in foster care, Bitter is thrilled to have been chosen to attend Eucalyptus, a special school where she can focus on her painting surrounded by other creative teens. But outside, the streets are filled with protests against the deep injustices that grip the city of Lucille. Bitter's instinct is to stay safe within the walls of Eucalyptus. Pulled between old friendships, her artistic passion, and a new romance, Bitter isn't sure if she belongs in the studio or the streets.
