After being disowned by her short-tempered, well-off Australian father on her sixteenth birthday, Christie Kelly finds herself back in her humble Chicago apartment with her loving mother. However, her close friend, Galvin Kismet--yes, the Galvin Kismet, rock star guitarist of the German rock band Prey for Chance--doesn't know she was exiled since he's on his world tour, and she fears their communication is forever severed. Would they ever reconnect? Would he bother to find her? With barely enough time to wonder about the what-ifs, Christie tries to settle into her not-quite old life, and navigate through a new, oh-so-wonderful world her mother was living without her that has Christie believing that even the craziest dreams can come true.
