Synopsis
When
Katherine “Kate” leaves for her freshmen year at college, a grounded and stable
piece of her is missing. She pushes away the ghosts of her past, determined
to start her college life single, carefree and distracted.
Throughout
high school Kate was reserved and shy, with little experience. Now, on
her own, with little holding her back, Kate is ready to branch out. She
bonds with a tight knit group of friends and even starts casually dating.
What starts out as innocent flirting on the tennis courts slowly turns into a
friendship and eventually something more complex. Reed comes into her
life giving her the distraction she craves more than anything; but is she ready
to give her heart away so easily?
Things get
complicated when Kate’s ex-boyfriend and first love continues to pursue
her. Kyle deeply regrets breaking her heart when he left for college the
year before and is now on a mission to reclaim her. Kyle’s persistence
and relentlessness is nothing short of obsessive. He will stop at nothing
to win her back and prove his love.
Kate finds
herself torn between her past and the unknown of the future. Her
determination to stay distracted may just be her downfall or the beginning of
something new and wonderful.
