Synopsis: It's 1987. Heavy Metal is big and so is the hair. Set in a Maryland suburb, this coming-of-age story follows fourteen-year-old Ellie Roma --a thinker and aspiring writer-- who must cope with an alcoholic mother, a volatile metal-head older sister and a longing for her long-departed father, even as the first brutal rushes of romantic love assail her girlhood fantasy world. When she meets her new neighbor, Leo, an aspiring musician who is six years older, Ellie believes she's found her soulmate and the man who will change her life forever. And in fact, that's exactly what he does....but not in the way you expect. Full of humor and sorrow, heartbreak and hope, THE POSSIBILITY OF FIREFLIES is the story of the summer when childhood ended and the world became full of possibility.
