Oliver Hunn can't hear. Deaf in both ears he relies on lip reading, a note book and sign language to connect with the rest of the world. Anise Clearwater has been watching money slowly tear apart her family for the past three years. With a flourish of a signature on divorce papers, it finally succeeds. Oliver and Anise collide in their Junior year of highschool, a boy who can't hear and a girl who wishes she couldn't either. A budding love begins to blossom, but how long until this happiness is uprooted too?
