Dan is happy with his life. He just hasn't started living it yet.
Dan Whitaker is 20, lives in a sleepy village in Devon and works in a small DIY shop. He likes numbers and hero worships Lord Nelson. But he finds ordinary people difficult to understand and he's certainly never had a girlfriend. His mother mocks him, and he misses his father and he pines for Ollie, his only childhood friend who truly understood him.
But, despite it all, Dan thinks he's happy enough. Until one June day, the beautiful and mysterious Libby walks into his shop - and into his life.
Libby's sudden appearance turns Dan's ordered existence upside down. But Dan soon realises that Libby isn't who she seems. Who exactly is she? What is she hiding, and, more importantly, who's that threatening man always looking for her?
In trying to help Libby, Dan comes to realise what's missing in his own life, and, in turn, appreciates what's really important...
