"We were two worlds that were never meant to collide. But when we did, we caused an explosion."

James Miller and Jamie Anderson were two people who were never meant to be. He's the quiet kid in class struggling with his mother's cancer diagnosis. She's the academic over-achiever burying herself in work as an escape from her parent's tumultuous relationship.  

When a tragic accident turns Jamie's life upside down, leaving her questioning her existence and identity in the world, she finds unexpected solace in the arms of James. Two broken souls intertwine, and as their lives slowly begin to merge, James and Jamie learn that there's strength in togetherness, light in dark places, and love in times of grief.
