"Sunflower, there is a very old saying. All the way from back in my day. Let your freak flag fly. Remember that."

Elliot would give his left leg to just be a normal fifteen-year-old boy. He was loved by some, yes, but not by the majority. The reason being that he's different. The way he thinks, the way he looks. The way he acts and the way he speaks. Elliot has Down Syndrome. A hopeless romantic, Elliot just wants to love a girl who loves him, but not out of pity. He feels nothing but compassion and love for others. He wants these feelings to be reciprocated. He wants to feel something. He doesn't want to come home and cry anymore due to the relentless bullying. This sunflower kid always sat alone. He grew up lonely, without a friend. 

That is, until he meets her.

The American Dream

5 parts Ongoing

Ffion Nelson-Hill never expected her life to be turned upside down, but after her mother remarries, everything changes. Forced to leave her home in the UK, Ffion moves to the US to live with her new stepdad, a strict and overbearing man she barely knows, and her stepbrother, who seems to exist solely to make her life miserable. At her new high school, Ffion struggles to fit in, feeling like an outsider in a sea of unfamiliar faces and overwhelming social rules. Just when everything seems unbearable, Ffion meets Mason. He's a kind-hearted, brilliant soul-just one thing: he's blind. But what he lacks in sight, he more than makes up for in charm, intelligence, and a unique perspective on life. They form an unexpected bond as Ffion becomes his driver to school, and they find themselves in the same classes. Mason's quiet strength and their growing friendship help Ffion navigate the chaos of her new life. As she faces her challenging new reality-juggling her stepfamily, a school where she doesn't belong, and the weight of change-Ffion begins to realize that there may be more to life than what meets the eye. And maybe, just maybe, the darkest moments can lead to the most unexpected of connections. Will Ffion find a way to make peace with her new family, or will she be lost in the shadows of her past?
