christian anthony, a man plagued by shadows of his demons and haunted by the pressure of a happy pretence. following a public down spiral, he's lost in the crowd, just a phantom stuck in a cycle of redemption.
fleur mykel, a bright ray of sunshine in the gloomy town of chesterfield. earlier stricken by a life-threatening disease, strength is ingrained into her very soul. navigating through the beachy waters and her thriving coffee shop, her life is as content as it could be.
one tour bus breakdown later, the two polar opposites find themselves woven together. a daily spiral of early morning caffeine brushes and late-night musical rendezvous catalyses a soul-restoring romance. throw in a bunch of crazy band members and the agonising throes of a dismal past and you've got a formula for disaster.
will fleur and christian recover themselves in the rubble of their pain or will their tale be limited to just a summertime fling?
