They say 'Opposites Attract,' but what happens when those opposites carry shadows from their past that threaten to tear them apart? Eran, the carefree, golden-hearted soul who is the kind of guy who believed love could fix anything. He wasn't just a happy-go-lucky soul; he was a dreamer, a romantic at heart. The best friend to everyone suffers heavily for the demise of his close peer still feels that love was magic-something worth chasing no matter the risk.

Known by many but understood by none, she shields herself from the world, a sin she committed years ago which continues to haunt her. Her dark, mysterious past lies in stark contrast to the woman she portrays today-one who barely lets anyone in. But what happens when their worlds collide? When Eran's carefree charm meets Rose's enigmatic walls? Will she dare to fall in love, something which she dreads? In a twisted dance of fate, their paths will cross, igniting something neither of them expected. A battle of hearts, where one is locked in the past, and the other hides in the shadows.
