*They've never met, but this is the way it is supposed to be: they belong to each other.

*
Lonely college student Minnie feels invisible until she stumbles upon HOURglass: America's new K-pop inspired boyband obsession. Soon she is memorising the lyrics to every song and staying up late to watch their livestreams, hoping that her favourite member, bad-boy Halo,** will see her in the comments.

On the other side of the screen, Halo is also becoming addicted to the adoration from his fans, using their love to paper over the cracks of the tragic past he is determined to keep hidden.

It's a perfect love, until Minnie is drawn to a shadowy fan community who believe they need to protect the band members from a dark conspiracy. As Minnie becomes increasingly determined to discover the secrets that Halo is keeping, the line between fandom and obsession begins to blur.

But if the truth comes out, could either of them survive it?
