Life is ever changing. That could be a good thing sometimes, because that means life changes for the better. For Avery Height though, it's the contrary. With her life consistently taking a turn for the worst, she's come to think that the good things in life never last. Loneliness. Extreme turmoil. Betrayal. Fear. Pain. That's all she has now. All she wants is a chance to feel normal again.

Nathaniel Summers. He's charismatic, sociable, everything a guy could be (according to social norms). Under any normal circumstance, the two would never be more than acquaintances. However, Nate’s friendship provides something that Avery can’t help but gravitate to: normalcy. Will Nathaniel be able to restore Avery's faith in life?
