About

Blake Radcliffe, aged 32, was once an aspiring author... But now, after the tragic loss of his wife, Cynthia, his aspirations have vanished. With no inspiration, and no hope for the future, Blake becomes a recluse - until a chance meeting with a young girl called Sunny, who just so happens to be in the wrong place at the right time. Can Sunny help shine a little light in Blake's dreary life, or will her best efforts be for nothing?
