She’s the new girl on this block, and Patrick is just not making a move on her fast enough. Eventually, lust turns to lost and Marten proposes his undying affection and kisses come to blows in a first-flight to fight romance. Myra suspects that Patrick and his friends see her just as fragile and in need of protection as any dumb girl around town. For Myra, who has been a cutter since she was 10, this affection is intolerable. When the punk rock lovers’ relationship turns dark, Myra steals Marten’s bestie. By his charms, she vows to stop cutting her own skin and splits with Marten. Driven mad by this betrayal, Marten's rage lights up the block party in one last big display and the real damage is revealed. In the last days of an Emerald City summer, Myra and Marten split for good, and 'Saint' Patrick pulls his broken-hearted friend into a long road trip to restore their boyhood friendship (and to help make the breakup tolerable for Myra and the band) The boys find hope on the 101 heading to California, but hope is lost soon after, a tremendous accident ensues. One boy survives and flees the wreckage, and one slips away, when you live fast, you die young.
