There are things that can never be reached. These things we just idle and dream of having the opportunity to grab. Many chase it, appearing mad to the observer but normal to the one doing the action. A sunset is something beautiful and breath taking but it can never be obtained in one's hand. Therefore we can only idle it.
Like the perfect life, to some it is unobtainable, but for others it's only an arms reach away.
The story takes place in Thomas Maverick's Junior and Senior year. He and his group of friends try to understand how society works and try to make sense of the "real world". With graduation only a few steps away, they all face the challenge of today's society.
