Ann Capri is just like most teens on Little Horn.
She likes to surf and ride bikes, eats seafood at least 7 times a week, smokes every stressful thought away on her friends boat and runs off any corporation that tries to settle on the island.
However, when a disastrous storm hits Little Horn and her best friend Charity goes missing she has to become more serious in her efforts to locate her.
But when this journey to find Charity becomes one riddled with spirits, scornful Goddesses, ancient lies and sometimes even some love; it proves itself much more daunting than she thought.

"Between Smiles and Starlight"
Althea Tala Fernandez has always lived life on her own terms-wild parties, late-night drives, and endless freedom in the heart of Manila. BGC was her playground, and rules were meant to be broken. But when her rebellious streak finally pushes her parents too far, she's sent away to the one place she swore she'd never step foot in-her grandmother's house in the quiet, sleepy province of Aurora. For Althea, it's a nightmare. No nightlife, no luxury, no friends-just endless rice fields, slow afternoons, and a town where everyone knows everyone. But things take an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with John Ethan del Rosario-the ever-smiling, ever-reliable son of the barangay captain. Ethan is everything she isn't-calm, responsible, and deeply rooted in the simple life she can't stand. At first, she finds him annoying, always teasing her, always getting under her skin. But the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes that his easygoing smile hides something deeper... something she's curious to uncover. As the days pass, Althea starts to question everything she thought she wanted. Because maybe-just maybe-this little town, this boy, and this unfamiliar life aren't so bad after all. But can a girl like her truly belong in a place like this? Or is she just passing through, destined to leave and never look back? A story about love, self-discovery, and the unexpected magic of second chances-welcome to Aurora, where even the most lost hearts can find their way home.
