PROMPT: Nothing ever happens in your tiny town along the Atlantic coast. The tide flows in, tourists flow out, and you study the shoreline's treasures in hopes of becoming a marine biologist. 

But then a group of NASA scientists arrive with plans of building a space observatory. With them comes the brilliant and enigmatic daughter of the lead engineer. The two of you couldn't be more different; she dreams of drifting among the stars while you long to dive in the deep. An astronaut and a marine biologist shouldn't exist in the same orbit, but you find yourself drawn to her.

The two of you are on a collision course until her doctor makes a terrible diagnosis; she has a rare heart condition and will never be able to travel in space. With her dreams in ruin and foggy weather descending on the observatory, will the two of you be able to overcome the darkness to see the stars?
