Ursla is a blogger, artist and costume designer who happens to own a coffee shop. She's faced prejudice and indignities her whole life. From her towering stature, over weight body, strange fashion taste and unapparent ethnic background, there is a lot she's been ridiculed for. Not a single one seems to bother her in the slightest. 
Evan is a small up and coming novelist, or at least he hopes to be. He's reserved, shy and has a tendency to be mistaken for a girl, a lot.  It's not that his has long hair or a feminine face, it's just , he's so small and petite, it's an easy mistake to make.
After a incident involving a drunken man in Ursla's coffee shop, Cecil's Cafe, Ursla takes an interest in the boy. On the search for what life really means and how on earth authors finish writing a book, the two collide in their separate missions until they dreams fuse into one. The world can be a cruel place, a nightmare softened by the ups that downs harder and make us into people of our own making.
