"Do you ever look at the stars and wish you could snatch them out of the sky?" Oliver asked. "You know, to keep in a box all for yourself?" "What would you do with a box of stars, Oli?" Trista asked. Oliver shrugged. "I don't know. Change the world?" When young Oliver sneaks off on a train with his friend, Trista, he discovers that life has more to it than the small world he used to be trapped in. It's full of sex, drugs, and danger. With only a copy of his favorite novel and a love for playing the piano, he tries to come to terms with everything the world has to offer. But more darkness lingers in the shadows, and Oliver must learn that facing that darkness alone only yields more pain. But what if it's too late?
