✦ Synopsis

Adam James's life is far from perfect. He is shy, awkward, and resigned to sit on the sidelines of life while overshadowed by Aaron, his outgoing and popular twin brother. A deeply internal person, Adam is confused about his lot in life, including life after high school. He is a talented drummer from a small suburb of Chicago but keeps to himself, downplaying his abilities and thinking he is less than all those around him. With his ambivalence toward people and living a life of moderate isolation, he is unable to gain new perspectives of himself.?

When a free-spirited new girl with a troubled past moves in across the street, Adam's eyes are opened to a new world of possibilities. Olivia Cartwright is a fun loving, beautiful girl whose philosophies on life give her a deeper understanding of the world. After living a semi-nomadic life, Olivia is out of her element in the quiet suburb of Lakeside, Illinois. An instant connection between Adam and Olivia draws them closer, but he wonders why anyone would choose him when a better version exists? What will happen when Aaron takes an interest in Olivia as well?

Adam has to make some choices: keep his relationship with Olivia merely friends or fight for something more, remain safely within the dormant cocoon he's lived in for years or find and cultivate his good qualities. Which will he choose?

Will the friendship with Olivia change him? Will he adopt her philosophies or continue to close himself off in his own world?

?

It seems Adam has a lot to learn about love . . . and life.
