"Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted." - John Lennon
Being separated from everybody your entire life is both frustrating and lonely. At least, that's how Rory would describe it.
Rory's lived in the forest his entire life and doesn't have even a taste of the modern world or what surprises it holds for him. All of a sudden, there's someone here who might be able to show him what he's truly been dreaming about.
Rory finally gets to discover what his imagination couldn't create. He finds himself getting stuck in many new and awkward situations he's never dreamed of being in before. Along the way, he may just find something he didn't realize he needed in his life. Why is he feeling things he's never felt before?
With crazy relationships and unexpected journeys, Rory is finding that time cannot define how he will live, or how he will love.
