Settled into some semblance of a normal life, Henley Linden tries to catch up to everyone else her age. Between dating millionaire Bennett Calloway, working as his assistant, finishing her degree, and trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life, she has little time for outside drama. But as she's brought into the limelight, it also brings her unwanted attention. When strange notes began being left for her, and someone begins sending pictures of herself to her, she tries to ignore it, desperate to continue living a normal life. But when the mysterious stalker takes it a step further, she is forced to face them. Bennett Calloway thinks his life is going his way for once, but worries when it will all come crashing down again.

Afraid of too much work falling to his little brother who has finally found some happiness in life, Lee overexerts himself, stretching him out thin to keep everyone happy. Whether it takes a toll on his relationship or not. When a dream opportunity comes up for Ariana Sosa, she has to decide whether to stay with her best friend Henley and the two men rivaling for her love or to move away to follow her dreams and leave everything behind. But everyone's lives are disrupted as a person from the past reappears, setting off a domino effect that no one can stop.
