Ella sits in her dorm room, staring at her phone and fighting the urge to call Micha. He's somewhere on the road with his band, living his dream while she struggles through college classes and worries about her father's latest stint in rehab. The distance between them feels impossible. She won't ask him to give up his music career, and he won't ask her to abandon her education. When they do manage stolen moments together, the connection burns as strong as ever, but saying goodbye gets harder each time. Micha knows something is missing from his life on tour. Every city blurs into the next when Ella isn't there to share it with him. They both feel the pull toward each other, but good intentions and sacrifice might not be enough to bridge the gap between his tour bus and her campus. Their love survived tragedy before, but now they must decide if wanting to be together can overcome the practical realities keeping them apart.
