Have you ever been so happy in your life so much it makes you scared?
Everyone wants to be happy, but few know what real happiness is.
Travis Winter is a seventeen year-old Architecture student, who’s in search of finding HAPPINESS in this so called REALITY. Unexpectedly, he met these two strangers named Casey and Gab. As Travis tried to impersonate "King Joffrey of Game of Thrones", Gab realized there is something more about him.
"Dude! You're demi-awesome! You are one of the soldier of Awesomeness. Half-human, half-awesome!" Gab said.
"Some people find their happiness in their own weird ways and that makes them awesome” he explained.
While Travis is not the smartest geek in town, he is neither the coolest dude but as he tries to find true happiness, he met this interesting group of people in school. Casey, his classmate who has an eidetic memory, an ability to recall sounds, images, and objects in her memory with an extreme accuracy. Gab is Casey's best friend who has this weird ability to distinguish whether a girl wears panty or not and Ian, who is the smartest dude among the group. They call him; the modern Einstein. Victoria who loves violet and an acoustic Youtube sensation as well. Tyson, the most multi-talented gay of all time. Drew, who's a BFABB (Born From A Boom Box); a B-Boy. Yuna is a high-class bitch who is also the founder of the Circle and Thalia, the girl who captivated his heart from the first sight. The group was comprised of entirely different personalities. Will they help him to spell-out what the word H-A-P-P-I-N-E-S-S really means?
