Sono passati undici anni da quando Hayley ha lasciato Baltimora. Adesso vive a Londra e lavora in un bar del centro insieme a Jackson, il ragazzo che l'ha aiutata fin dal primo giorno e che è diventato il suo migliore amico. Hayley cerca di affogare i ricordi nella nebbia, nel grigio del cielo, ma le sembra sempre difficile. I pensieri continuano ad affollarle la testa e le notti le lasciano spesso in dono due occhiaie scure. Luke non l'abbandona. E un giorno compare in carne e ossa: si è trasferito a Londra per cercarla e finalmente l'ha trovata.

Hayley frequenta il secondo anno dell'high school a Baltimora, è una ragazza chiusa e non si è mai ambientata del tutto. Luke ha diciotto anni; alto, biondo e sprezzante, si abbatte come un fulmine su ciò che lo attira. Quando per caso nota Hayley, ne rimane affascinato, tanto da decidere di conquistarla: la vita è una gara e lei sarà il suo premio. È Luke a guidare il gioco, seguendo Hayley e facendole credere che si tratti ogni volta di incontri casuali, fino a quando non raggiunge il suo obiettivo.
