a Christian-inspired Love story between two teens that has been friends for a very long time (Gail Metalika, daughter of a once famous rockstar, A church band member and Kyle Swatch, the bullied stubborn Genius) What would you do if your best friend is hopeless and is on the verge of completely denying the existence and hope in God? Watch out what Gail does for Kyle for the sake of love. And how their friendship becomes more than that.

In life, there are two perspectives on every story, usually two opposing mindsets to every situation. One side is positive, bright and full of hope and the other side is usually negative, dark and filled with despair. It just all depends on the person's past experience with the deciding viewpoint. Meet December Hail, an ordinary girl who believes that love was invented by desperate, lonely human beings who wanted to find something worth living for in life than just simply living. Meet her polar opposite, Finn Carico, a hopelessly romantic boy who believes that love is one the greatest feelings in the world and that without love human civilization cannot survive, let alone flourish. Follow Finn into the gloomy somber abyss of December's mind as he struggles to change her perspective on love. Will he accomplish this seemingly hopeless endeavor or will December corrupt him first? *It sounds cliche, but I swear it isn't*
