In life there are things that are said, and then there are those that remain unsaid. For Keely Staub, her life mostly remained in the latter category.

Her future and a past even hidden from her collide as she wades through a world she'd never dared to dream of, allowing her half heart to maybe find an equally broken one in the unlikely source of Seth Ryan.

,,Bist du hier, um zu springen?" ,,Nein, ich will mir bloß den Sonnenuntergang ansehen. So ganz alleine ist es doch gleich viel romantischer," spotte ich, wobei ich mir mit der Hand, die nicht das Geländer umklammert, die Haare aus dem Gesicht halte. Mir fällt auf, das die Sonne gerade wirklich untergeht. Vielleicht gucke ich ihn mir also ernsthaft an. Oder ich gehe Bungee-jumpen. - Ohne Seil versteht sich. ,,Du bist hier, um zu springen," stellt er fest, womit sich die Sache mit dem Idioten endgültig bewahrheitet. Verdammt, was ist dieser Typ nur für ein Trottel. ,,Natürlich, was denn sonst?" Graces und Dylans Leben könnte nicht unterschiedlicher sein und dennoch finden sie sich eines Tages auf ein und demselben Dach wieder. Sie, um zu springen und er, um sie innerhalb einer Woche zu retten. Einer Woche in der mehr passiert, als seine Versuche ihren Sarkasmus zu ignorieren und ihr Wunsch, einfach nur aus dem Leben zu verschwinden, Stück für Stück in Konkurrenz zu ihren Gefühlen für Dylan tritt.
