You can't start a fire with out friction, and teen misfits Grace Harrison and Harry Turner supply enough of this to cause a full-blown forest fire.
Grace Harrison; a quiet girl who listens to no-one aside from indie bands and her own thoughts, yet somehow contains enough knowledge to maintain the 'sharp-witted, sarcastic, stubborn' traits.
Harry Turner; with sky-rocketing confidence levels, this people-person, (more specifically the female majority or the human race) chooses to follow batman's logic to work alone, despite having his own dictionary of chat-up lines and a thesaurus of secrets. He becomes intrigued to that one star which is burning out, which is gold instead of silver.
A questionable match- the erosion between these two outcasts could either smoothen their rigid edges for the best, or turn into a spiraling-out-of-control inferno which threatens both of them, for the worst...
