In a world where colors define reality, Elliana, a senior high school student, compares her daily life to an incomplete coloring book. With her unique eyes, she sees the world in a way nobody else can. Elliana's vision sets her apart, as anything or anyone whose name she knows appears vibrant and full of life, while anything or anyone whose name she doesn't know remains colorless, trapped in a monochrome existence.
Her life, defined by this phenomenon, takes an unexpected turn when Kael, a mysterious transfer student, joins her school. Ellie expects him to burst into color the moment she knows his name, but to her shock, he remains colorless, defying the rules of her perception. Is he an exception? Or is there something more to his enigmatic presence?
As the time passes by with Kael near, unexplainable events surround her. The mystery deepens, her questions pile up, each one left unanswered, and Kael, still devoid of color, remains an enigma. Ellie is left grappling with the unusual circumstances which mysteriously link to a monochromatic guy in her class.
A week before their high school graduation, Ellie's boyfriend walked her to her door and kissed her goodnight, just like any other night. But there was nothing ordinary about what followed. Austin disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again... until now.
Ellie is now 28. She has a good job, a roof over her head, and her best friend, a cat named Selma. Having fully given up on ever finding out what happened to Austin, imagine her surprise when she runs into him at a work conference out of town-wearing a name tag that says William. He's even more gorgeous now than he was back then. And that the spark between them... yeah, it's still sizzling. But Austin's secretive life leaves many questions unanswered and this time Ellie is not wiling to let go without an explanation.
Austin knows one thing for sure; Ellie will keep going until she finds the truth. And in order to keep her safe, he has to stay far, far away from her.
But can he?
