Ryan is headed off to NYU, hoping to gain all the knowledge and experience she needs to become a designer. New York is the city of dreams and she has plenty to fulfill. She's a creative soul and sees the beauty in everything around her. Excited to finally live out her dreams, she just knows these college years will be the happiest ever, if it all goes as planned.

Keith is a New York native and knows these big apple streets all too well. He decided to attend NYU because he'd rather deal with the devil he knows. He knows the concrete jungle isn't all people crack it up to be. He dreams of being an artist but doesn't think it's realistic. He constantly battles following his dreams or pursuing something more traditional. He just wants to use his art to paint what's real. 

Ryan's head is so high in the clouds she can't grasp the truth about life and Keith is too grounded to ever fly free and really chase his dreams. Can the two come together to face the world and be successful or will their differences lead them in different directions?
