In the small town of Bellmor, where surfing takes the warm afternoons under the beaming sunlight, Blind Faith accompanies the story of a group of friends, their feverish dreams, silent fears, and the way love enters their lives. In an authentic representation of youth, combined with loss and grief, expect nothing but a ride through their genuine thoughts and emotions, sometimes even disquiet, restlessness, and agony. Will, in the end, someone find a glimpse of serenity? Smart, introverted, sensitive, and kind, Emma Goodwin is known for being top of the class, although she never brags about it. In fact, at the age of 17, the radiance she finds in everyone around her seems nothing but absent in the reflection she is presented to in the mirror every morning. Dragged by the constant trepidation, distress, and fear of what seems to be an endless cycle of trying to survive in her unsettled mind, Emma finds in music an entree to a world where momentary tranquility frees her from her own chaos. However, when she least expects it, someone unpredictable decides he would do anything he could to enter that little world of hers and to get to know her to the point where he could settle calmness and peacefulness in her apprehensive heart. Being the first-born son of Howard De Loughrey was seen by many as an undeniable privilege, but for Damian de Loughrey it meant growing up cursed to a tarnished name, to the unrealistic life's expectations his father had for him, and to silenced traumas no one had a clue about. Despite being seen by everyone as the spoilt rich popular guy, Damian was just a normal kid, trying to find his way in life while making sure he helped everyone around him, but forgetting he also needed help, in the first place. Surprisingly, the so intriguing girl who used to teach him maths last fall would turn out to be the first person he would be able to open up to. After all, sometimes we are just lost souls waiting for the right person to see us.

Revenge towards a certain Russian cold hearted ogre. And she'd kiss any man only to slit his throat seconds later. The devil is very much real. But Adrias Russo is him in shape and form of a Human. The devil would drag you down too hell. Adrias Russo would bring hell too you. And so engulfed you'd not for a second want out. 𝐀𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐒 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐎 is the definition of a cold blooded tyrant. An he'd wear the label with honour. Something about poems irked him. Little did he know Morana Giovanni would be the devils favourite poem. I didn't hate her, I hated the way her whole self could agitate me to a limit where I'd supress a emotion of hate towards her. And he didn't want revenge, No that would be too boring for the devil. He would ruin her repeatedly with no fail. Crush her dainty heart which she barely showed to anyone with his bare hands blessed from hell. And then he'd watch it all burn down, Only to repeat it again. Until she was completely ruined. If his soul was black, why did he need any color to his lfie in the least bit? Adrias simply wasn't a human that was born, he's purely nothing but a fire set from the depths of agonising hell. And who knew she would find comfort in the arms of the devil. Because a child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort.
