Hazel Reilly has Achromatopsia, she sees white, black, and every shade of grey in between. She moves a lot because of her busy parents and that means a lot of transfer schools. She never got used to being a new girl, she allways worries she won't be accepted because of her disorder like her first transfer school. Cole Brice sees like everyone else, in color, but unlike his class he sees Hazel for who she really is. He has never been one to go with the crowd the crowd goes with him, not this time. Cole shows her there is more to the black and white she sees, and that there is allways a silver lining.
