After waiting all summer, seventeen-year-old Ethan Redwood finally begins his second year of high school. He's got it all planned out; he's going to be as average as he possibly can, avoiding drama and trouble so that he may finally have a normal school life. All of that fell apart on his first day, but Ethan has nothing to dread; his plights and problems aren't his alone. For this school year, he will realize one truth; happiness comes in five parts. Following rejection from Madison's father, Ethan's drive is renewed with a little help from June. The year's first major (graded) event arrives in the form of a short film contest. Volunteering as an actor alongside June, Ethan has his priorities embedded in this competition. Though if there's one thing he's learned thus far, anything can happen, and he's got to be prepared.
