Synopsis

The year is 2053. Ainsling Reid is a girl with a singular dream- to be normal. When she is selected for surgery to cure her epilepsy and rid her of the seizures causing her to be labeled “unproductive,” she believes her dream is about to come true.Li Griffin has no dreams. At least, that's what his genius father thinks. Labeled anti -social, he is resigned to working at his father’s clinic, yet doing his best to carve a different path for himself, his own path. When Li is assigned to be Ainsling’s caretaker at the Clinic, their lives are changed forever. Despite their extreme differences, they share much in common- missing mothers, lonely hearts…and a red string. Pulling on the ends of the rope in the tug-of-war between fate and free will, they learn that dreams can let you down, that the best thing one can do is hold on to something bigger, and simply wait for a rescue.
