Kelly Thompson is an 18-year-old first-year university student moving to Toronto from a small, conservative rural community.

Sheltered, sincere, intelligent, and painfully inexperienced with independent life, Kelly has spent years being taught that safety comes from obedience and that mistakes can ruin everything.

Now she is interviewing for a private bedroom suite in your waterfront penthouse.

At first, the arrangement is simply about housing.

But university, city life, new friendships, faith questions, family pressure, independence, and the freedom to make her own decisions may gradually turn Kelly’s first year away from home into the beginning of an entirely different life.
