Midnight Sun

Katie Price is a 17-year-old musician with a life-threatening medical condition called xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), which prevents her from exposing herself to sunlight. She spends her days indoors, playing her guitar and writing songs, only venturing out at night. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Charlie, a former high school swimming star, and they fall in love. Together, they experience a summer of romance, concerts, and life's simple joys, all while Katie hides the severity of her condition from him.
