Amethyst Louise Adair suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) It's a devastating disease and unfortunately the life expectancy is 37 years of age. She can't go out in sunlight, and if she is exposed to the sun she may get a severe sunburn in a matter of minutes of being in the sun, freckling in sun exposed areas, dry skin and changes in skin pigmentation. She can go out at night as the moonlight doesn't affect her but throughout the day she is strictly housebound. 16 year old, Amethyst Adair has been sheltered all her life and deprived of her childhood, her world opens up at night when she ventures around the city doing what she does best, photography, taking pictures of the city lights at night is the only thing she looks forward to. One night Amethyst stumbles across Kalen Scott, a troubled teen who can't seem to stay out of harms way, he's also a bit of a troublemaker. Is this the start of a budding new romance? Or will XP get in the way of her happiness?
