Amelia goes to her dream school in San Francisco alone.
No exciting dorm life or friends to share it with.
Moving into her grandmothers apartment home above their apothecary, Amelia finds a more melancholy path to follow for a short time that is, until the hustle of the night crowd becomes apparent and she falls into a life that she had been dutifully kept away from.
