Glenhaven, CA
California, the Golden State of America. Zoom in to Glenhaven - north of the city of angels.
On the outside, Glenhaven looks like the ideal place to live - and to some, it probably is. When people are watching, we put on our perfect facades; children puts on their uniforms and go to school and adults put on their smiles and go off to work.
When people are watching, we make Glenhaven seem like the perfect place to live; beaches, gorgeous views and a sun that could melt even the coldest of hearts and last, but not least; people with a million bucks. That sure sounds like the place to be, yeah?
But what happens behind the closed doors when people aren't watching? When the curtains are drawn and the limelight is dimmed...
Life isn't picture perfect; spouses cheat on their SO's, students are doing rows of cocaine in the school bathroom, teenagers are getting into fights and children are running away from their homes.
Life isn't always about going to yoga classes or getting straight A's. Life is selfish, competitive and cynical - and so should you be.

He sees them talking with a big smile, but they haven't got a clue. Yeah, they're living the good life, can't see what he is going through. They're driving fast cars, but they don't know where they're going. In the fast lane, living life without knowing.
And they say,
"I wish that I could be like the cool kids, 'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in. I wish that I could be like the cool kids, 'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it.""
