The Unexpected Find

Simon is different, and people don't really like that.
Judy is difficult, and people don't like that either.
So when they become friends, it's unexpected. And everything that
comes next - the search for Judy's father, the journey to Sweden,
the crash, the fight - I guess you could say that's unexpected
too.
