A normal, if not an above average athlete, William Riley never thought he'd do more than enjoy his highschool life and go on to get a dead-end job afterwards but a sudden loss throws him off this plan and toward living with distant relatives in a small town in Washington called Forks. Awash with grief, Will begins attending the local highschool in the small town where his estranged Uncle lives. That's where he meets the Cullens...and changes start to happen to him and his way of life.
