Katie, adolescente con la passione della musica, è affetta da una grave malattia che la rende vulnerabile alla luce del sole: per questo vive reclusa da anni in casa con il padre ed esce soltanto dopo il tramonto. La scuola, le feste, le partite di football non sono per lei altro che delle fantasie, da immaginare da dietro il vetro della finestra. E anche l'amore. Da anni infatti osserva Charlie, il ragazzo per cui ha una cotta, passare ogni giorno davanti a casa sua, sognando una storia romantica ma impossibile. Almeno finché una notte i due si incontrano per caso e tutto cambia...

Declan loves death metal--particularly from Finland. And video games--violent ones. And internet porn--any kind, really. He goes to school with Neilly Foster and spends most of his classroom time wondering what it might be like to know her, to talk to her, maybe even to graze against her sweater in the hallway. Neilly is an accomplished gymnast, naturally beautiful, and a constant presence at all the best parties (to which Declan is never invited). She's the queen of cool, the princess of poker face, and her rule is uncontested-- or it was until today, when she's dumped by her boyfriend, betrayed by her former BFF Lulu, and then informed she's getting a new brother--of the freaky fellow classmate variety. Declan's dad is marrying Neilly's mom. Soon. Which means they'll be moving in together.

Jeśli słońce ma zaświecić w środku nocy, to wyłącznie za sprawą miłości.Siedemnastoletnia Katie cierpi na groźną chorobę: nie może mieć kontaktu ze słońcem. Dlatego na dw�r wychodzi wyłącznie po zmroku. Co noc gra na gitarze w podziemiach lokalnej stacji kolejowej. Pewnego razu spotyka Charliego, w kt�rym kiedyś skrycie się podkochiwała. Rozpoczyna się romans, a dziewczyna za wszelką cenę usiłuje ukryć przed Charliem chorobę.

Katie can't leave her house during the day: she has a rare disease that makes even the smallest amount of sunlight deadly. But everything changes when one night, singing her heart out on a deserted station platform, she meets Charlie. Before the night is out, Katie is smitten. But she hasn't told Charlie her secret. She just wants to have her normal love story, before reality kicks in. Lost in her night-time summer romance, Katie knows that love will light the way.
