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

Later in the evening, after introductions had been completed and the pair were sat at the dinner table with Aunt Sophie and Uncle Luke, Joe turned to Hope with a conspiratorial smile. Uncle Luke viewed the exchange with a smile and decided to interview the boy that his niece was so enamoured with. 


‘So, Joe, what is it that brings you to the big city? Hope mentioned something about you guys making music together.’ 


Joe smiled. ‘I came over from LA to find a singing partner. It’s my big dream to perform my songs and get signed, and Hope is helping me achieve that dream. We’re going to sing in a concert together in a few weeks.’ 


Uncle Luke nodded. ‘Your parents must trust you a lot to let you come out here on your own.’ 


‘They do trust me. And they know that I’m going to work hard for what I want.’ 


‘It must be hard being away from your family though.’ 


Joe smiled sadly. ‘It hasn’t been easy. I miss my family a lot.’ 


‘You have siblings?’ Aunt Sophie queried.
