The last thing Arthur would imagine is for one unlikely encounter to utterly transform his life. — Eighteen-year-old Maddy Harris is an introspective girl who visits the cemetery to escape the other kids at school. One afternoon she joins Arthur -- a gesture that begins a surprising friendship between two lonely souls.
