Overcast

17-year-old Mila Toombs is sent to live with her grandmother the summer before senior year, moving from Seattle to the small town of Redding, Mississippi. Her parents got a job overseas and decided to let her finish out the American high school experience. She had been planning on going to college in Washington to become a meteorologist; she's always been into weather and watching storm chasing documentaries. Coastal Mississippi is a change of pace - figuratively and literally. She finds a job working at a convenience store, which is about the only place she gets to talk to people besides her grandma. A variety of characters frequent the store, but she fixates on one in particular: Alex Granby.

Alex, a 19-year-old junior college football player, is trying to get recruited to a Division I Football school. The last thing he wants is to be stuck in Redding for the rest of his life. Every day, he visits Kilroy's Country Store for a shrimp po' boy and a raspberry sweet tea. He drives a 30-year-old pickup truck, says few words, and wears sunglasses in the store. Most people around town say he doesn't quite have his head on straight. Mila knows she's pretty much invisible in her new town, which could be a bad thing... or a good thing.

Sure, he's older and set on leaving, but Mila already has nothing to lose. Will she catch his eye at the counter?
