Synopsis

'Cayden'- name meaning: "brave warrior"

Cayden Alvarez is just a normal guy. He likes hanging out with his friends, has a best friend who loves to tease him about his secret crush, and is actually the youngest of 4. He works a small part time job so he can go out and buy random things. Well at least on the surface...

Truth is, no one really knows him but his stepsister Aaida Díaz, and she only knows so much. Life became...difficult after Cayden came out his freshman year. Though his friends and Aaida accept and love him for who he is, the rest of his family? Not so much. His mother and stepfather don't talk to him much unless they need something done; Zagan Díaz, the oldest stepbrother, beats and abuses him; and Azazel Díaz, Aaida's twin, well...that's complicated.

Cayden is basically forced to live a double life, hiding his family from his friends and vice versa. But this overly optimistic boy is about to have a very wild junior year.
