Some People’s Kids
Nine months. Three strikes. One chance to decide who he becomes.
Strummer expects to wait out probation at Hope House and leave. But a halfway house built on rules, broken trust, and fragile friendships forces him to choose between compliance and real connection.
Story overview
Strummer is seventeen, fresh out of rehab, and sure he is going home. Instead his cop father leaves him at Hope House, a halfway house for troubled teens with a strict three‑strike policy and a countdown to eighteen.
He plans to keep his head down and survive. But Hope House is not a holding cell; it is a community of kids learning how to live. As relationships with Darby, Nicky, and Jose open him up, the system around them starts to fail. Strummer must decide whether to play it safe or risk everything for the people he has learned to care about.
