Crazy Lonely

Never give up your dreams in life - even if you meet resistance along the way. Being young is a lonely place. This is a fast paced, action and emotion packed story. Max and Antonia are from different backgrounds but holding out for what they want from life. Nothing ever seems simple - because nothing ever is! The very people who should support and help, seem caught up in their own dramas. Even friends betray you if their dreams are at risk of being trampled on. Max has friends, some money, and dreams of success, but taking responsibility for how he got here leaves him alone, facing unemployment, guilt and even prison. Antonia has success in a song contest, but she feels alone. Her father is not there for her. She is famous, but all the money and fame in the world can't buy her the love she desperately craves.
