Janie had lived all her life in a small town, but when her dad opened a paper shop in the big city, she felt out of her depth with her new friends. On one of their excursions, she stumbles across a boy laying in the sun, fishing. She invites him along and her friends seem to take him over. But he also feels out of his depth with them and just wanted to spend time alone with Janie.
