In many people's minds life is either Black or white. There is no in-between. But only a few are aware that it's not Black or white. It's Black and White, and all the shades in between. It's grey sometimes, like those thick clouds that appear just before a heavy rainfall. Sometimes, it's all the colors of rainbow shining brightly, making a person come alive. But what does life thinks of itself? Have you ever wondered? How life reacts when something tragic happens? Or how it shines at the time of joyous moments? No? Then, let's glance inside a story in which life itself is the narrator, because sometimes life is not at all as we know it. Sometimes it's life who sees through us, just like it'd seen Devika, a girl who always thought her life was pitch black the moment she came to understand it. But, little did she know that one encounter with someone who'd been through something as similar to her own would turn her life into colors of hope, and will give her the courage to speak everything out loud.

"That single thought is enough. The impulse increases to a wish, the wish to a desire, the desire to an uncontrollable longing, and the longing (to the deep regret and mortification of the speaker, and in defiance of all consequences,) is indulged." - Edgar Allen Poe Four years ago, Ori Hawthorne's parents passed away in a tragic car accident. Everything was left to herself and her brother. Shawn, who took custody of Ori and gained both his and her inheritance, blew it mindlessly within the first year. Since then, both children have done what they've had to in order to keep in tact their once luxurious lives. Acting carelessly yet again, Shawn runs off with over a million dollars belonging to a drug lord. This particular drug lord, however, has just met Shawn's beautiful, witty, smart-mouthed little sister. Ever Kingsley sees Ori as far more compensation than $1M, having never wanted anything so badly in his life. Kingsley finds opportunity in his situation and impulsively takes Ori as ransom. Soon after, a turn of events sends them both on an unexpected adventure, where the two find themselves making countless discoveries - including the profound, violently magnetic attraction that dark seems to have to light, and vice versa.
