One city.  Two families.  Eight broken boys.  Eight stories of love.  Sixteen different fates.

All linked to the same destiny.  And no matter what – they will always stand together.

They say that every story has a beginning.  Maybe the beginning might be fake … but destiny is always real. 

I’m Enrique Blackburn.  A San Francisco boy.  The type that’s rich and famous – an actor, a model, a playboy.  But I’m hiding behind walls.  I’m scarred by my past.  Maybe I act like a robot to keep myself from getting hurt.  Maybe I believe I don’t have a heart.  Maybe I don’t deserve to be loved.  Maybe I like my fake life. 

Then I found her.  She’s perfection.

Maybe it’s ‘cause I got a little bit older.  Maybe it’s all I’ve been through.  Maybe it’s how I see myself with her.  She brings out the real me.  She sees through the act. 

Now the walls I’ve been building are starting to crumble.  She’s stealing the things I know.  Maybe robots do have hearts.  Maybe real life is better than the movies. 

To have her I signed a contract.  To keep her I fought like a lion.  To love her I broke down the walls. 

They say that every story must end.  Maybe you’ll get killed by the fire of desire.  Maybe you’ll find your direction.

Me?  I got to say the words.
