After his father's unexpected transfer, Alex is forced to leave behind the only life he's ever known.

Maya is confident, creative, and equally passionate about playing the guitar, yet she hides her own insecurities behind a bright smile.

But as they bond over their shared love of music, Alex struggles to express his feelings, unsure if someone like Maya would ever notice someone like him.
As the two grow closer, both must navigate the challenges of new beginnings, self-discovery, and the complexities of young love. Will Alex find the courage to step out of his shell, or will he lose the chance to fall for the girl next door?
