In the close-knit town of Brightwich, New York, everyone follows the same morning routine every day. Wake up, wave to the neighbor, and maybe grab breakfast at the town's favorite diner. But today it's different. Today, The preacher's son, Luke, discovers a something new. Today there's a stranger in town.
But when he actually talks to Ashton, Luke sees more companionship in this James-Dean-wannabe than what everyone else would probably like. And when trying to get Ashton in touch with the joy of familiarity in the little town's everyday life, Luke starts to enjoy the promise of adventure and mystery surrounding Ashton a little more than he ought.
Luke Hemmings is a guy who thinks he is a total badass. He loves getting new tattoos and piercings. He rides a motorcycle and plays guitar. His best friend Calum thinks he is a badass as well and is punk rock.
Ashton Irwin is a loner. He has a best friend Michael. His only friend. But that doesnt matter to Ashton. He only needs Michael to be happy. But he is never happy. He is depressed and thinks that everyone hates him and that he is worthless, fat, and ugly. But he isnt he just believes that.
When these two guys meet there whole life changes.
