It's always awkward seeing your ex again. But it's worse when you hear his voice almost every time you turn on the radio (even at the station you work at), see his music videos every time you turn it to Vh1 or MTV, or see a shirt, cd or anything else affiliated with him everyday. But what do you expect when your ex, your first love and high school sweetheart, is none other than Julian Casablancas?

After her parents are stuck in Maine from a plane accident, 16-year old Sophie Martin is all alone and stuck in the streets of New York City.
