A soul, a heart, and a whole lot of secrets. Follow the Marauders and Lily as they learn that the happiest person you know is probably the most saddest person you will ever meet and that no one is perfect; no matter what anyone else says.

Lily struggles with her inner beliefs and her loneliness. A past comes to haunt her and new challenges arise. Can Lily crawl out her shell of solitude and who will be there to help her?
