This isn't a fairy tail, it's real. This isn't another Cinderella story, it's a true love.
Steven has always hate being at home, where his wealthy yet broken family and parents would always argue everyday. Not to mention his useless big brother, Jake, who rarely talk to him. With a dog as a best friend, Steven doesn't trust anyone aside from himself, and his dog (Ollie), and probably some innocent grandma who passed by. What about other families? Nah, Steven would prefer to just stay by himself and do bada$$ things.
Steven doesn't believe in any other possibilities of bringing his family back together as it used to be, loving and caring. And now his only option is to go, leaving home as long as possible, in hope for his parents to come to realization that their family is falling apart. But what does Steven expect on this journey? Has he thought of every possibility that might come? What about his heart? What would he find on his journey..?
What about when the most unbelievable yet beautiful thing, Star, came upon him and gave him something he had never know exist? A hope. A hope that strongly would come true.. and a home. A place where he could be 'loved'.
No one can deny the true power of a hope which comes from a shooting star. And Steven do exactly what he need to do. He's chasing his one and only hope. Star.
