Zephyra Herae Montalban, a reserved and artistic student, finds solace in solitude, often lost in the pages of her sketchbook rather than socializing with her classmates.

Will Lucas, with his outgoing nature and charm, be able to pull Zephyra out of her comfort zone and into his world, or will their contrasting lives create a barrier too strong to overcome?
