Devyn Foster has gone through a lot. That's why she's built up such strong walls around her keeping out everything except her love for photography and her brother. She couldn't think of any better way to spend her summer than making a short film for a film festival she's entered.
Kaleb Foster is figuring things out. After being stripped of his "Popular" social status, he starts to realize that there's more to life than being well liked by everyone. He's created goals for himself for the summer that involve taking care of his family and finding out what sort of person he wants to be.
After crossing paths the last few days of school, Devyn becomes interested in turning Kaleb's plans into her film and Kaleb becomes interested in her. Some feelings become clear while others fail to be realized. (I'm in the process of re-writing some things.)
