A chance encounter in a virtual world leads to a captivating tale that transcends the boundaries of reality.
Kyla is exactly the kind of girl Alex could never talk to in real life. She's a gorgeous, outspoken L.A. girl who parties to forget about her absent father and depressed mother. He's a shy ballet dancer from outside San Francisco who's never been kissed. Luckily, when these sixteen-year-olds meet for the first time it's not in real life-it's in a chat room, where they can share how alone and misunderstood they feel far away from the conformity-obsessed scenes at their high schools and at home.
Alex and Kyla quickly forge a friendship that's far from virtual . . . maybe they're even falling in love. But what happens when you come face-to-face with the soul mate you've never met? Will that person be the same?
Will you?
