Malia Riley's life is very plain. Wake up, go to school, go to work, study, then repeat. For a 17 year old, she goes to bed super early, never experiencing the night. In school she has a couple close friends, and out of school she has a job at the 24 hour local coffee shop. She tends to keep to herself and doesn't get out much, due to her time being consumed by school. When it comes to guys, she tends to push them away because she doesn't have any interest in dating. However, all of this changes when homeschooled Lucas Oakland steps foot in her cafe. He shows her that there is more to life than textbooks, and that staying up all night is the time when the real living begins.
