Oak Hill Orphanage in Manhattan was home to many little souls who had lost their anchor to life, before it even began. Just like Iris. Iris Cooper was one of those people who would rather stay up late at night to read that thriller book instead of partying the night away. She was reserved and her life, mundane. Or was it going t be like that forever?
Enter Raymond Williams. He too, was brought up and raised by the Oak Hill Orphanage, but unlike Iris he was a menace that the orphanage was better off without.
And in their life of 21 years at Oak Hill, none of them ever acknowledged each other. They were just out of one another's league, but fate has its own way of turning the wheels. So what happens when two different worlds collide into one another one fateful night? Do they manage to break the walls they had put against one another or does it leave their lives unfazed?
