Shaina is broken. She's lost her feelings. She's numb. She's lost hope in life. All she wants is for God to get her out her misery and end her life already. Afterall she's sick of dragging out her useless and meaningless life.
Jake has a good life. He has nothing to complain about. He has everything: cash, cars, chicks, looks and an elephant-size ego and the sky-high attitude. And of course, his camera. Everything around Jake means nothing to him. The only thing that matters is his camera. He loves to click pictures. It's his passion.
What happens when the two cross paths? Will Jake be able to fix the broken-to-pieces Shaina? Or is she broken into too many pieces that it would be too hard for Jake to get the pieces together and solve the puzzle that this girl is?
