"33 Snowfish" by Adam Rapp follows the intertwined lives of three troubled teens—Bobby, a runaway; a girl known as "the Knife"; and another boy called "the Worm." Each character is grappling with their dark pasts and the trauma that has led them to live on the fringes of society. As they navigate the harsh realities of homelessness and their search for belonging, they form a fragile bond while on the run from their own demons. The raw and poignant narrative delves into themes of survival, friendship, and the desperate search for hope amidst despair. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
