Calvin had always wanted to be more than himself. Because Calvin hated himself because he was never smart enough, never attractive enough, he was just never enough. And then Calvin met Lindsey, the charming, raven-haired girl who told him that his depression was more than a character flaw. Who said that only he could save himself, who also lit the storm that was his life and then shattered the bulb in the lighthouse she had built inside him, leaving Calvin to question life, love, and how maybe, he was the only one that could save himself.
