   Summary

   James' boring and uneventful life takes a wild turn when the new boy in town moves next door, in that old and run down house that has been vacant for ages.

   Dave's frantic and chaotic life begins slowing down when he meets a certain introverted blond and his particular group of friends.

   Two teens with fire in their veins, each in their own way, discover what is like to feel, to yearn and to desire. Even if it's forbidden. Even if it could ruin them both.
