When Hasani, her ex-boyfriend-the boy who once held her heart but broke it when he went to prison-suddenly reappears, her carefully constructed world begins to unravel. Elysse is torn between her memories of the boy she once loved and the man he has become after his time away.
He is determined to win her back, but Elysse isn't sure she's ready to trust him again. Not after everything he put her through. Elysse's heart wrestles with the weight of old wounds and new possibilities. As her past collides with her present, Elysse must decide if love is worth risking the stability she's worked so hard to build.
Set against the gritty and vibrant backdrop of East London, this is a story about love, loss, and the difficult choices we make as we try to move forward without leaving too much of ourselves behind.
