In New York City, the city that never sleeps, there is a journey of a teenager named Nick Solitario who is forced to live his life based on the perceptions that many have given him. In his high school, he is feared by students who find him weird, an easy target by the ones that bully him, a troublemaker by the faculty, or simply ignored by his school crush, Lindy Xin. Nick has been in love with her throughout high school, she is a redhead Asian Girl who is currently dating one of the students that bullies Nick. However, no matter how he is perceived by others, the one perception that hurts him the most, is the perception given by his mother Ana Solitario. 

Ana is a single mother with blonde hair and yellow skin, although Nick knows his mother loves him as much as he loves her, he can’t understand the reasoning behind her strict discipline and her belief of him being a troubled child. As a result of his loneliness, Nick relies on reading comic books, where he loses himself in a world where he is someone else, someone happy.
