One day at a gymnastics meet, Elly can't take the stress anymore. She runs away, but ends up getting into a terrible accident. Then a very special person happens to stumble upon her, changing Elly's life forever.....

Hope has always wanted to break free. To leave New Jersey and never set her eyes on Belleville again. Could meeting the mysterious band boy Gerard Way set her free? This isn't just another story where the average girl falls for the boy, or is it?
