Kat & Charlie

Kat and her older brother, Jeremy, have just left the suburbs of Chicago to start a new life in New York City away from their alcoholic father. After spending the holidays at a lodge in northern New York, where Kat spends New Years Eve with a curly-haired boy, they head for the city. Kat doesn't ever expect to see the boy again. She doesn't even know his name, that is, until he shows up at her new school, Bridgeburg Academy.

Charlie is a hopeless romantic, he always has been, though he would never admit it. He hasn't stopped thinking about Kat since New Years, wondering who she is and where she comes from. The questions keep rolling over in his mind. Is she thinking about me? Is she from New York, too? Logically, he knows he won't see her again, but deep down he is holding onto the hope that they might find each other. That there's something there worth finding.
