Red Ribbon is a gritty coming-of-age story about three teenagers-Natoya, Jess, and Andrés-who push the limits of adolescence in the small, divided town of Mohave. What begins as innocent rebellion-talking back to parents, pushing boundaries, and seeking thrills-quickly escalates into more perilous territory. As they experiment with riskier acts, such as defying authority and using drugs, they become entangled in a web of unanticipated repercussions. Natoya, a typical suburban girl testing the waters with her father, is eager to see how far she can go before making an irreversible decision. Jess, rejecting his life of luxury and emotional neglect, joins Andre, a street-smart boy from downtown Mohave who is desperate to save his friends and family from the harsh realities of their fate. Together, they explore a world of chaos, adrenaline, and self-discovery-where every action has a cost. Red Ribbon tells a story of adventure that grows darker with each page. As the trio's irresponsible behavior develops, they understand that, while they have the freedom to pick their courses, their decisions will have far-reaching consequences for their own and others' lives. In a town where two extremes collide, they must confront the reality that adulthood is more than just freedom-it is about the weight of responsibility, the impact of their choices, and the consequences that follow.
