: The story begins when 18-year-old Daniel meets a mysterious girl in a dark maintenance closet. They share an intense, hour-long "pretend romance" in the shadows without ever seeing each other’s faces or learning each other's names.
What follows is a year of searching. Daniel jokes that he is looking for "Cinderella" – the girl who fit perfectly in his arms but vanished at midnight (or, in this case, when the lights came back on).
