Follows the alcohol abuse and rehab experience of a butch teen raised in a small dying factory town. Fictionalized account written from lived experience. Depictions of gender expression-based harassment, assault, among other things. Most of the pages focus on group therapy/support sessions in the rehab center.

Glasheen's illustrations are distinctive and are consistent with the cover - full-color, with a chaotic watercolor effect. Lined notepaper-like fragments show up throughout, which implies the vibes of a daily journal/processing tool. Their figures have notably angry eyebrows almost all the time. Glasheen is a tattoo artist in PA, alongside their authorship.
