Agent Rory James is haunted by her dark past. Drifting through life entangled in relationships doomed from the beginning, her spirit on the brink of collapse.

Dr. Spencer Reid is a genius within the BAU. Harbouring a hidden loneliness, drowning in his intellect, yearning for connection.

Amidst the shadows of their demons, their paths collide amid a dangerous case. Drawn together by an unspoken understanding, they find solace in each other's brokenness.

But as they navigate the tangled webs of their hearts, secrets emerge and danger lurks. Will they unravel the mysteries within themselves and find the courage to embrace the love they seek, or will they remain oblivious, unaware of the light that could set them free?
