Lennie, 16 anni, ha sempre vissuto dietro le quinte, ben contenta di lasciare le luci dei riflettori alla sorella maggiore Bailey. Così, quando quest'ultima muore all'improvviso, Lennie si ritrova scaraventata in un mondo di cui non ha mappe né riferimenti, completamente alla deriva. Per tenere ferma la barca della vita, Lennie si rende conto di aver bisogno di cose molte diverse, praticamente opposte, che solo due persone sembrano capaci di offrirle: Toby, l'ex ragazzo di Bailey, è l'unico che capisce il suo dolore, e Joe, che si è appena trasferito in città, ha da regalarle quella energia e quella musica che lei teme di aver perso per sempre. Ma sole e luna non possono stare nello stesso cielo, e Lennie si ritroverà a dover affrontare il più antico dei dilemmi: stare accovacciati di fronte alla piccola luce di un fuoco che muore, o prendere il coraggio a due mani e alzarsi ad affrontare il buio, in cerca di una luce più grande?
