Mei Li and Rune have been best friends since the eighth grade, sharing highs and lows as they approach graduation, sympathizing with each other over broken hearts, and sharing their dreams for the future. Mei Li wants to attend MSU, get a degree in computer graphics, and someday find her perfect match. Rune, the star athlete, has similar hopes...until his eighteenth birthday, when his so-called parents inform him that he's part of a top secret android experiment called E.V.E.R. and may not be human. Will Mei Li's support be enough to get him through his nightmare of uncertainty? And what will happen when best friends finally realize they just might be something more?
