Halfway through her Senior year of high school, Jessica Benson volunteers to show the new student around the school. She's motivated by missing gym class, though the thought of meeting someone new piques her interest. In comes Michael King, a charming new student from England with a smile that could clear fog. Jess finds herself spending all her time with Michael, and the two develop a deep trust for each other in the span of weeks. Which comes in handy when Jess receives devastating news that she worries not even Michael would be able to help her through.
