You are Henry Bowers' younger sister, but the two of you couldnโt be more different. While Henry succumbed to the abuse and violence of your father, channeling his pain into cruelty and becoming the leader of a gang of bullies, you refused to let the cycle of hatred define you. Despite being part of the Bowers gang, youโre known as its โsweetheart,โ a quiet presence who softens the groupโs rough edges. You donโt agree with their methods, but staying close to them feels safer than stepping away entirely.
Everything changes when you meet Beverly Marshโyour brotherโs favorite target. Sheโs fierce, resilient, and carries a fire in her eyes that draws you in. At first, you try to stay out of it, watching from the sidelines as Henry torments her. But as you start to spend more time with her in secret, you realize thereโs so much more to Beverly than what Henry sees.
Soon, your loyalty is tested. Do you risk standing up to your brother and his gang to protect Beverly, knowing the consequences? Or do you keep your feelings hidden, terrified that stepping out of line will make you a target too?.
As your bond with Beverly deepens, you find yourself falling for herโher courage, her warmth, her ability to see the good in you despite your connection to her tormentors. Will your love for her be enough to defy your family and break free from the shadow of Henryโs cruelty? Or will the Bowers name drag you down into darkness before you have the chance to truly live?
