August's past is haunting her: she sees it everywhere she goes, feels it in her hollowed heart and sees it in her sleep every night. 
She's perfect, she's everything anyone's ever wanted to be. And yet she can't bring herself to grow attached to anyone: so she pushes them all out.

But after an encounter with a stranger out the front of an old cinema, she finds herself looking for him. Except he's all but disappeared.
Until he shows up at her school.
As their feelings grow and they start uncovering secrets, about each other and their town, Augusts fear grows, and she starts repelling, trying to push him out - to protect him. 

But what happens when the one person you have left doesn't want to be protected?
What happens when they would do anything for you, anything but leave you?
