Sixteen year old Connor is angry. He doesn't know why, and he doesn't know where to direct it. People and things he once liked annoy him, and they itch, like sores. So Connor isolates himself in the middle of the country. Soon he discovers that anger is hiding away with him. Connor knows he will be angry forever. Then a girl walks into the woods. And it turns out she is angry too...
As unpredictable as Connor himself, The Violent Outburst That Drew Me To You tackles the ticking time bomb of teenagerdom. Behind its sly and smart-arsed exterior is a searching exploration of adolescent anger, bound to strike a dissonant chord with anyone who's ever caught a whiff of teen spirit.
