The story revolves around Kyle, an 18-year-old who meets his soul mate, a brilliant astronomy student with a troubled past, during a summer camp in the Florida Keys in 1990. Despite feeling an intense connection and being drawn to her, he fails to recognize her significance until she is gone. Coming from different backgrounds—Kyle from a middle-upper class American family and her from the Soviet Union—their paths intertwine in a way that suggests a deeper cosmic connection. Now, he grapples with regret as he realizes what he lost.
