The Story
For teenager Halley, love seems like an alien concept. Her mother is divorcing her father, who is dating a younger woman Halley can't stand. Her sister is about to get married and doesn't realize that her fiancé is not the man of her dreams. And her best friend has fallen madly in love for the first time, leaving Halley to feel even more alone. But, when she meets edgy Macon, she learns what love is really all about.
