Eighteen year old Hayden "Hiccup" Haddock has had enough of, well everyone. After his accident three years ago, leaving him with only one leg, and his parents leaving home almost full time for their "dream jobs", Hiccup is left alone in the dust, left only with his pet. Everything changes when a new girl, Astrid Hofferson comes to town, and starts attending Hiccup's school. Maybe someone can finally break Hiccup's shell, show him he means something to someone. Maybe someone can break Astrid out of her shell, show her some much needed attention and love. Maybe they can both find it, but from each other? Hm, according to these two, unlikely.
