No matter what, never lose hope.
Sam knows life will never be easy for her. She struggles with things that other teenagers find normal. Only her best friend Jasper really understands her.
Jasper works himself to the bone to fulfill his parents' wishes, striving to be their perfect son in every way. Until he collapses on the basketball field.

Devastated, Sam convinces Jasper to pursue his one true desire: to perform in front of a live audience. They travel head over heels to London to participate in the ultimate talent hunt. With nothing left to lose, Jasper throws himself in the competition, no matter the physical cost.
Jasper is torn between leaving his family behind and following his dream. Sam is devastated as she struggles with their imminent farewell.
In the end, both can't help but wonder if pursuing the ultimate goal is worth the heartache.
Heart-Beat is a heartfelt story about the ultimate friendship and devastating decisions. If these were the last days of your life, how far would you go before the end comes?
