Dougie lives with his mother in a house full of critters, likes music and staring at the sky. He goes to Ginsberg High. Tom shares his parents with 3 older brothers, is a tennis star, sails through life with eyes closed and attends Whitman High. When the 2 schools get united, senior year doesn't seem so predictable anymore. Especially for Dougie and Tom. Especially when you fall.

Danny is pissed when his parents tell him they will welcome another orphan into their house. He only wants to have fun, not to adapt his privileged life to another kid. But this time, it's different: Dougie is 17 and he doesn't want a family, friends or sympathy. Reluctance from both parts transforms itself into friendship and... what? What is that tender feeling?

Danny had an accident. He's in a coma. Tom is devastated: loosing his best friend would mean the end of his own life. But Danny's last words are still clear to him: make music, no matter what. Even if I'm gone... So the guys do as he wished: they hire someone else. A girl. Tom hates her, she won't take Danny's place, never! But what if she was there for another reason?
