In the small town of Bellmor, where surfing takes the warm afternoons under the beaming sunlight, Blind Faith accompanies the story of a group of friends, their feverish dreams, silent fears, and the way love enters their lives. In an authentic representation of youth, combined with loss and grief, expect nothing but a ride through their genuine thoughts and emotions, sometimes even disquiet, restlessness, and agony. Will, in the end, someone find a glimpse of serenity? Smart, introverted, sensitive, and kind, Emma Goodwin is known for being top of the class, although she never brags about it. In fact, at the age of 17, the radiance she finds in everyone around her seems nothing but absent in the reflection she is presented to in the mirror every morning.

However, when she least expects it, someone unpredictable decides he would do anything he could to enter that little world of hers and to get to know her to the point where he could settle calmness and peacefulness in her apprehensive heart.

After all, sometimes we are just lost souls waiting for the right person to see us.

He rolls his eyes, his handsome face illuminated by the lights on the tree. "Well when you put it that way, I suppose." The candy cane i am sucking on falls from my lips, clattering to the floor.
