Ruby Barnes is that of a mystery to ordinary Will Cooper.

As he stresses about his absentee father missing life's moments and the band's upcoming gig, Ruby is dealing with much more serious matters at home. Her alcoholic father is falling deeper and deeper into a whirlwind of gambling and booze, sweeping next-door neighbor Graham into the mix. All the meanwhile, she's balancing her shifts at work, the curriculum at a strict Catholic preparatory and keeping more secrets then she bargained for when it comes to her social life.

A misty day with menacing grey clouds hovering above brings two individuals into each other's lives. As a result, they'll find themselves in one another and, just maybe, something more?

Told in alternating perspectives of Ruby and Will.
