This is the story of April, a girl in her late teens, who really doesn’t have a family. She lives in her car, learns to rely on herself, and gets by with her guitar. She makes friends along the way who sometimes help her, or let her down. It’s about the power of friendships, and the fact that people come and go, sometimes staying only for a while but still make a lasting impact.
