A brother's drug use impacts his relationship with his younger sister.

Fiona has always looked up to her big brother, Dylan. But lately, Dylan has stopped spending time with her. He's always hiding in his room or fighting with Mom and Dad, and sometimes the way he acts makes Fiona feel afraid. As Fiona uncovers the truth behind the changes in her sibling, she'll also learn to look past his struggles and remember that he'll always be the Dylan she loves--a big brother who needs help and support from his family to get through a tough time.
