'The truth is there's no such thing as a normal life. There's just the time you get and how you spend it.'

In the summer of 2000, seventeen-year-old AJ dreams of being a writer far from her small town. Working in a video rental store, her life changes forever when Noah walks in.

Noah is intense and enigmatic, the youngest in a family of great actors. Despite wildly different upbringings, the two forge a deep bond first as friends, then as acting partners, until the day Noah disappears without a word.
