At age 16, Hope feels defeated by life. Discontented with her job, surroundings and overall life, she can see no escape from the path that she feels compelled to follow. Amid her shifts at her aunt's café, avoiding the boys of the local gang and endless job interviews, Hope is left with little time to do anything she enjoys. 

Her only freedom comes in singing for the gang of boys when their leader and her childhood friend Mack sends for her. That is, until her friend Mack introduces her to a stranger from out of town named Joe who has a proposition that could change Hope's life completely.

Over the course of a few days, Joe shows Hope her true potential and slowly draws her further and further out of her comfort zone. Together, they could have it all. But does Hope have the confidence to take that chance on herself and leave everything behind in a daring leap of faith?

Just a Moment

The days flew by, with Hope and Joe constantly texting since they had little opportunity to see each other. Hope had to work all hours that she could in order to make up for missing Friday completely, and was therefore exhausted by Thursday night. 


The morning of the interview however, Hope woke up early, her body filled with anticipation and excitement. She sprung out of bed and reached for her phone. Pressing play for a random song to put her in a good mood, Why Don’t We Go There by One Direction came on. 


Hope smiled as she danced along to the tune and wandered down to the bathroom. Brushing her teeth in time to the music, unable to stop smiling, Hope brushed her sleek hair and let it fall in natural curls. On any other day, she would have tied her hair back, but she wanted to make a big impression.
