Kesse (they/them) loves nothing more than May (she/her) and skateboarding. Everything changes when Kesse accidentally pushes May’s annoying little brother Pepe (12) off a wall to his death. Excluded from the skate crew, Kesse tries to find their way back to everyday life while May and her mother Sheila grieve and cut off contact. Kesse feels trapped between guilt on one side and the fear of no longer belonging on the other.
