Being abused at home and bullied in school turns out to be the least of the boy's difficulties as he's still looking for his own identity, due to the fact that Ewaan has no biological family left. After his mother’s passing and father’s imprisonment. But these facts are all unknown to the boy and kept a secret. Ewaan later on becomes suspicious as words and sentences are being used vaguely and encrypted, from time to time. Does this mean that the boy needs to bear all of this until he learns the whole truth about himself and just how many of tomorrows, does the boy still have left?
