Cal and Grey

Synopsis:
Cal and Grey is set in the near future, where orphans have become the scapegoats of a crumbling society. When 17-year-old Cal is selected as the subject of a book on the conflict, he finds himself torn between his fearful loyalty to those who have raised him and the wrath of a hateful mob. In this turmoil he meets the reclusive Grey, who has learned to silence himself after years of neglect. As the two form an intimate bond, they plan to finally escape the cruelty of their violent world. Cal and Grey is a story about the indomitable nature of love and the bruising power of rebellion.
