It's nothing unusual that people like to believe in things. It might be in something as simple as a good luck charm. Others may think there's this special someone - the one person that's perfect for them -somewhere out in the world. But whatever humans like to believe in, Elle does not. Being too much of a realist for her own good, she might have missed the one she should've been looking out for.
Josh is the kindest soul out there - well, that's what is mum and sister think anyways. In reality, he's far beyond a knight in shining armour. Struggling to let go of the past and move on, Josh crosses paths with Elle. Might she be all he needs?
