Victor loves vintage cars and belting out songs in his garage band, but school is harder for him and he seems to always say the wrong thing. When he meets the cello-playing, straight-A student Marie-Jo, the two strike up an unlikely friendship, and before long both his grades and his attitude improve. But when Marie-Jo confesses a terrible secret to him, Victor will have to return the favor and do a little rescuing of his own.

This graphic novel is a beautiful adaptation of the original 2012 French romance novel Le coeur en braille by Pascal Ruter. An English translation was published in 2017 as A Friend in the Dark.
