So began the story of Margo, Darryl, and Justin.  Together they faced anything life could throw at them by cussing, pretending, and fighting back.  Until an event so horrible, Margo knew she couldn't ever tell the boys.  Instead,she just left.

Now she's moving back into her Grandmother's house - adivorced woman with two children in tow.

Can the three friends rebuild their special relationship out of the broken pieces of trust?  Will Darryl forgive Margo for breaking his heart? Can they move forward with their lives without Margo telling them why she left?
