When his recklessness leaves him in rehab with no memory of how he got there, he meets Aileen—the counselor assigned to probe the roots of his trauma.
Her compassion disarms his defenses, sparking an unexpected bond. Yet the closer they get, the more she stirs up the pain Mark numbs with drugs and adrenaline.
To build a future together, he must confront his agony—before it consumes them both.
But with everything to lose, can Aileen show Mark there is light beyond the darkness? Or will his addiction obliterate their one chance at happiness?
