She wants friends and a boy to like her. She wants to be happy and enjoy her life. But when a bunch of unfortunate events begin to pile upon her, she becomes depressed.

Hannah has left a handful of recordings for those she feels responsible for her depression to listen to. And slowly the mystery of why a girl with nothing but great things ahead would end her life.Dark Discussions co-hosts take a look at this very moving series.
