To get through a heartache after the sudden breakup, Arabella moves to New York City to start another chapter of her life. Driven by the hope to make Adrian Castle, the man who left her broken to pieces with an excuse of protecting her against his world, Arabella suffers a mess and as retribution for her pain, she embarks on a journey of self-destruction by embracing the real her no one knows and accepts the challenge of living in the same world Adrian tried to protect her against.

Perhaps he's not the man she thought he was, and maybe he's indeed nothing but a cruel, emotionless monster who destroys everything he touches.

Nathan, the ever lively and confident musician with a name that features on billboards and the stars in his favour, gets on the wrong side of luck for the first time when he accidentally comes across a love potion meant for someone else and the uninterested 'damsel in distress' waitress with the snarky remarks and indifferent attitude.
