Charlie Somer doesn't have the normal story you might expect. She pushes people away, never letting anyone become close to her. People eventually get the idea, and drift apart from her. What was once everybody's 'Golden Girl' is now the bottom of the high school food chain. She decided that she would rather go through life alone than getting her heart broken again. Her heart wasn't broken by a love interest. Her heart was ripped out of her body when her entire family was killed in a car accident, leaving her stranded and blind. As she is reeling from their deaths, she must also uproot and leave her home, readjusting to life without sight as well. Moving on is hard even without Charlie's reasons, but when people at her new school begin to ask her questions about her old life, she can't seem to let anyone in. She succeeds for the most part with her new plan of staying away from anyone, with the exception of Gabriel "Gage" Paxton. Gage feels the immediate pull towards the new girl. Her unseeing eyes are filled with much hidden sadness, the kind of sadness only seen by others with the same pain. Gage knows what its like to feel so completely alone, but has no idea how hard it must have been for Charlie. Not only is she alone, but she's also blind. The pain she tries so hard to hide can't be hidden from him, and so he seeks out trying to make this girl smile. Although Charlie feels not quite so alone when she's with Gage, she can't let herself feel comforted by him. Because of her, the Somer family is gone. She will no longer hear their laughs or their voices.She will no longer see their smiles. She will no longer see anything at all. She still blames herself for the deaths of her family, but Gage is attempting at bringing the Golden Girl back. Will she let anyone else in? Or will she continue to suffer at the hands of fate?
