Sixteen-year-old Ekko has always tried to protect his family-from strangers, from storms, and sometimes... from each other.
In a chaotic household filled with ten kids, an adopted toddler, fake guns, treehouse adventures, and surfboards on standby, life is anything but calm. But when his estranged grandmother suddenly shows up-with secrets, bitterness, and a taste for control-Ekko is forced to do what he does best: hold his world together.
Then a call from CPS changes everything.
A little girl named Zola enters their lives, and with her comes grief, love, and the kind of connection Ekko's sister Jun-hee has been aching for since her own devastating loss.
As emotions run high, memories return, and trauma resurfaces, Ekko must face the ghosts in his mind, the truth about the past, and the fear of losing the people he's fought so hard to protect.
