Ophelia Morgan was always viewing herself in parallels. While she thought she was the ‘bigger’ girl and could be spotted miles away, she also thought she was invisible in the eyes of those around her. Her self-conscience nature made it hard for her to look at herself in the mirror. And if she couldn’t love herself…who else could?

What happens when you leave your heart with the one who’s miles away? Meet Jagger Linden – Lead singer to up and coming rock band Fight the Fury with enough issues and one night stands to write twenty albums. His dream? To tour the world with his best friends and add to the list of girls who worshipped him. Meet Ella Montgomery – Resident good girl who’s tired of life in Everest Hills. Her dream? Get her degree and get the hell out of her town for good. When the two cross paths on one of Jagger’s one night stands, both of their lives take a sharp turn into the direction neither one of them expected. While Jagger’s left with a change of pace and Ella’s left with a change of heart, they’re both left testing the question: Were relationships really meant for the road?
