In a quiet neighborhood, Rose and Zander have been inseparable since childhood, their friendship strengthened by a unique bond. Both introverted in their ways, they find solace in each other, sharing weekly stargazing sessions on the roof of their building. Rose is a passionate writer who often bottles up her emotions, especially her love for Zander, which she has harbored for two years. She struggles with the fear of expressing her feelings, fearing it might ruin their cherished friendship.

Zander, on the other hand, presents as the extrovert with many friends, but he often hides behind his outgoing persona. While he teaches Rose to embrace her voice in class, he grapples with his own insecurities, particularly when it comes to confessing his feelings for her. Zander admires Rose's beauty, especially under the moonlight, and dreams of a deeper connection but fears rejection. He often captures fleeting moments of her through his phone, cherishing every smile and glance.

As both navigate their unspoken feelings, the weight of their emotions hangs in the air during quiet nights spent together. They share a unique way of communicating through morse code, further deepening their connection. But with each passing moment, the fear of change and the possibility of losing each other looms larger. As their lives are about to shift, will they find the courage to reveal their hearts, or will they continue to hide behind the walls they've built around their feelings?
