They wanted to make movies. Instead, they're about to live one.
When Alma Lancaster meets Vadim Arcadi at a Los Angeles film school, they couldn't be more different. Eighteen-year-old Alma is Franco-British, comes from a wealthy family, has the perfect boyfriend, and her entire future mapped out before her. Vadim is American with Russian roots, a troubled past, and no family to call his own. She's trapped by the expectations of her world. He's driven by an unshakable need for freedom. They shouldn't work. Everyone around them agrees. Yet despite themselves, they can't stay away from each other. Something pulls them together -- and keeps pulling, no matter how hard they fight it. They clash. They push each other away. They come back anyway. Neither of them wants to fall. Both of them are already falling. They don't know it yet, but the day they meet will change their lives forever.
