Anyone can be experiencing a range of things, whether it be from behind closed doors or in isolation of their own mind... Escaping the embarrassment of her failed engagement, Lauren finds herself starting a job that she never intended to do. Once the people's princess where she grew up, she is not prepared for the Attending on her service to hold such contempt for her. Desperate for her approval, she enlists the help of a mother/daughter duo. In doing so, she finds gaps in her own life she never once believed were there. Claudia was certain that no one was ever going to want to marry her, but when someone offers you your perfect engagement ring, how can you say no? With a ruby weighing down her ring finger, the life she has vs the life she imagined are weighing on her mind. Is this conformity or is it of her own free will?

Whilst digging through the racks at the Salvation Army, she stumbles into a volunteer role that she has no business filling. When faced with the realities that a growing number of young women are struggling with, she decides it is time for a change. When people first meet Rosie, it always starts with, "sorry, didn't see you there". Desperate to no longer be overlooked, she decides to undertake a year long glow-up as a project for her work.

Months later, reconnecting on assignment in the most remote, rugged land on earth, Trace and Effone have to face not only their feelings for each other but acts of sabotage from a mysterious enemy. Can they-not to mention their ships and crews-survive the attacks to finish where they left off?
