April

A quiet and odd boy who's rarely seem without the camera hanging around his neck. He's all at once a familiar face but not. 

"That's me... So?"

Faine

Tall, sociable and fashionable - he has it all. Well, everything but a phone that is. It's not hard to see why people might find it easy to talk to him, or easy to not talk to him. 

"Let's go, I have the perfect idea."

Being a photography-based influencer was the goal, but everyone called it a pipe dream - and they were right. A "failed" career, no job, no money, and a mountain of debt, April ends up moving back to her rainy small town. But even a small town has some doors for opportunity if these two boys can give April her last shot at her dreams. She can use them.
