Born with deformities of the face, August looks quite different from other kids. The boy gets homeschooled until fifth grade, and then his school journey starts where he has to go through a lot of discrimination and bad behaviour from other kids.

The boy’s genetic problem impacts his face. Whenever he goes out in public, everyone starts staring at him. August is being stared at, bullied, and teased. In school, he finds companions in Jack and Summer; however, he later finds that Jack also badmouths him.
