She doesn't expect that excuse to come in the form of the beautifully tragic lead singer of The Neurotics. Luke Hemmings has a secret, though.

But when they find that their broken pieces align perfectly together, the clock to their mutual destruction begins to tick. Is it really worth it to love someone to death?
