Melanie Johnson has never stood out in anything. She goes unnoticed in the school hallways, studies just enough to get by, and lives in a routine made up of small gestures and dreams never confessed. Until, one ordinary afternoon, a meeting at the supermarket changes everything. Joshua Fernandez - charming, cultured, with a smile that seems to read her thoughts - reaches out his hand. A man who seems to know exactly who she is, and who she could become. Fate brings them together again: he is the new history teacher at her high school.
