Oliver Church is a kid who for some inexplicable reason feels a gravitational pull towards June Macbeth, the strange and antisocial girl in his AP English class. Despite her cold and apathetic appearance he knows that she is truly someone who wants something that everyone has. A friend. As their friendship grows she learns that not everything is as it had seemed to her, lonely and dark. Yet some things always stay hidden, and Oliver doesn't learn this until too late. Through this trial of friendship the two learn about themselves and the world around them, about gravity, heartbreak, naivety, and how sometimes the best things in life and the worst things in life come when we least expect them.
