Synopsis:
A fifteen-year-old teenager who feels misunderstood by those around him. His sophisticated and arrogant young stepmother, who has only experienced true emotion and genuine affection while on the brink of death. An aspiring actress whom nature has deprived of talent but more than compensated for with a love of life. Their lives collide and become bizarrely intertwined, binding them closely together. This is a story about the inscrutability of love and fate, and about the vulnerability of our existence.
