Seven years ago, Lilith's world shattered when her boyfriend, Ryan Bennet, disappeared without a trace. No body. No answers. Only silence. Haunted by unanswered questions and recurring nightmares, Lilith slowly rebuilt her life, learning how to survive with the idea that Ryan was gone forever.
Now a university graduate, Lilith lives a quiet life, protected by routine and by Alex - her best friend, her safe place, the one person who helped her heal when everything fell apart. Alex is kind, loyal, and always there, even when Lilith's heart is still trapped in the past.
But everything changes when a stranger presses a gun to her head and delivers an impossible message: Ryan Bennet wants to see her.
As buried memories resurface and fear returns, Lilith is forced to face the truth she has been avoiding for years. Is Ryan alive? And if he is, what has he become? The man she loved, or something far darker?
Caught between a haunting past and a fragile present, Lilith must choose between the ghost of a love that never truly ended and the safety of a new one that promises healing. But some secrets refuse to stay buried - and some loves never truly disappear.
