What About You, Josh McBride?

Josh and Elliot have been living in the shadows of their inner demons for far too long.

Josh McBride was the angry, emotionally avoidant one, while Elliot was the invisible, anxious, carer. When they ended up in Cruxby together and discovered their family's history, that all had to change. Except, old habits were hard to break.
If life had dealt them a different hand, they could have reached their potential. Elliot should have been a confident performer and Josh should have been able to perform in his courses to go on to joinery school.
But this isn't some fairy tale, and Josh can't stay in class, let alone an exam. He believes he's stupid and that's all there is to it. Elliot has a chance in the talent show if his audition goes well, but the anxiousness from his past creeps in from every angle.
Will these two be able to rise above their pasts and create their own destinies, or will their demons win in the end?
