People may think that seventeen year old Cameron Schmidt is living the good life because of the big house and all the money he's surrounded by every day. They may think he lives the good life because he attends White Ridge Academy, has two amazing best friends who know him better than everybody, and has the attention of one of the wealthiest girls at White Ridge. They may think he lives the good life because he has a trophy wife as his stepmother and a picture perfect father who runs his own company in New York City. But that's just what they think, it wasn't reality... Seventeen year old Cameron Schmidt, does have two great best friends, but just because they know him better than anybody else doesn't mean they know everything about him. He lives with his stepmother and father, but nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors. Nobody knows that he's just a boy silently crying out for somebody to come save him... But what happens when a new girl named Emmeline catches his attention? He didn't know what it was that drew him to her, but maybe it was her long light brown hair that he wanted to oh-so touch? Maybe it was her looks that drew him to her. The fact that she looked and acted like none of the girls who attended White Ridge was something that he liked most about her. But the number one thing that drew him to her was her eyes, her blue misty-like eyes, and the cane she carried around every day. She was blind, trapped in a dark world just like him... But maybe they could be each other's light...
