He has the power to do what he wants, whenever he wants, without any regard for how his actions affect other people. But this path he has chosen soon comes to a standstill when an accident takes places, ending Kade's life temporarily. He is sent into a world he never believed in and into a new life he previously never had the chance to accomplish. He is given the option to start fresh...But there's a catch: his soul mate.

Difficult choices will be made, true love will be found, but can Kade leave the past in the past and break through his impassive outlook on life?
