An eye for an eye. A husband for a husband. When Akira's husband Ethan dies suddenly, she's left with nothing but his debts and a devastating secret: for years, he had another life, funding the dreams of a beautiful artist named Maya in a city Akira thought she'd left behind. Now, armed with nothing but her grief and a burning need for vengeance, Akira is going back. Her plan is simple, precise, and cruel: to infiltrate Maya's perfect world and take from her what was taken from her-her wealthy, powerful husband. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. And a husband for a husband. But as Akira gets closer to her target, she finds herself in a dangerous game where the lines between justice and betrayal, revenge and redemption, become dangerously blurred. But in this dirty little game of revenge, will she become the very thing she hates?

"It felt almost...depressing, having one person dictate all I was feeling. Though it was one I've always had, and one I couldn't resist. Like a moth to a flame. Everyone knows it'll harm the moth, but the moth, simply, does not care." In a small town, we follow the lives of two individuals. Steven, raised by an authoritarian father, and a timid mother. While James is raised with a neglectful mother and an absent father. They trek down the halls of fragmented memories of their past friendship that was ripped away from them alongside the security they used to give each other. Navigating their voyage of feelings on if they want something more or if they just crave nostalgic comfort while dealing with the turmoils of home? They venture through shattered dreams of what could've been, constantly haunting them...all while pushing each other away out of fear. Will they be able to rekindle what has been lost, or will it forever be a downward spiral of heartbreak and betrayal of oneself and others? A testament of resilience that binds us all and makes us human. That even in our darkest moments, the essence of who we are lies in our struggles and our hopes. Humanity isn't meant to be viewed in black or white. Rather an array of reflective shades...some buried deeper than one wants to realize.
