Too young.

Too dumb.

Too different.

Micah Kennedy and Mariella Cerulli have heard it all since they fell in love five years ago. But they're eighteen, celebrating the end of high school, and determined to walk their own path.

One night of passion, surrounded by butterflies, flushed with the hubris of first love, will set them on the path to heartbreak.

Toward a disaster eleven years in the making...
