Samantha Barnes has dreamed of becoming a translator and studying at the Applied Linguistics school and has a semester abroad in Japan coming up. She can't wait as it is the start of her dream come true towards her career.  Sam had no time for boyfriends as they only get in the way and she didn't want any ties attached before she left and of course her past three boyfriends had been considered Mistakes as she always picks the wrong ones. Enter Dylan Hunter, he has captured Sam's attention, and despite her objections, the pair go from friends to lovers pretty quickly but things aren't always as they seem as Dylan isn't the perfect boyfriend that he is portraying. Dylan missed a whole year last year ? Was it drugs or something else ? As the time gets closer to her leaving will Sam be able to part ways and say goodbye to Dylan ?
