Sebastian Crawley likes to live life on the edge- that is, until a near fatal accident causes him to emerge with temporary blindness. For a year, he lives in complete darkness... until his path finally crosses with someone who shows him a different way of looking into the darkness.
University is the first time that Rebekah Lee is finally tasting freedom- freedom from an overbearing mother who wants nothing but the best for her daughter. The possibilities that the future holds are suddenly endless- and it helps that one of them is a blue-eyed brown-haired boy who seems to be as interested in her as much as she is in him.
When these two finally collide, they will turn each other's worlds upside down and change each other in ways that neither could have ever imagined. But, with the odds stacked against them, will they survive the test of time and chance?
