When Ella and Micha are finally in the same room, the world makes sense—but thousands of miles and competing dreams keep pulling them apart. She's fighting to keep it together at school while her father battles addiction, refusing to burden him with her struggles, while he's touring with his band and aching for the one person who truly sees him. Their stolen moments together are electric and all-consuming, but they're also heartbreaking reminders of everything they're missing in between. This is the beautiful, honest story of two people desperately in love but learning whether passion and promise are enough to bridge the distance between where they are and where they want to be.
