Stuck in the darkness of her mind - can Charley break free and find her true voice?
Aspiring singer-songwriter Charley is a smart, intuitive and talented sixteen-year-old. But she has thought tangles, thatβs what she calls them. She thinks she has them under control, but when they get in the way once too often, her hopes of going to music college are threatened and she becomes increasingly overwhelmed.
Balanced on the edge, she is thrown into a tailspin when friends shut her out of her social circle and she is sexually assaulted. Her anxiety spirals into dangerous self-harm.
After sheβs involuntarily committed to a psychiatric unit, Charley bonds with three other patients. It is through their adventures and friendship she is able to start to unpick her thought tangles. But as the pressure builds, and disaster looms, will Charleyβs newfound friendships help her escape her mental prison? Will her attackers get what they deserve? And, will she be strong enough to take centre stageβ¦
