Seventeen-year-old Charity Dawson (Isabela Merced) is suffocating. Her high school romance with the golden boy, Dean Morrison (Chase Stokes), has turned toxic and dismissive, leaving her feeling small and invisible. She's clinging to the mess they have, convinced this is the best she can do. But one night, Dean's callous disregard finally cracks her heart wide open, forcing her to see the truth: she deserves better.
Just as her world collapses, stability walks back into her life in the form of Andy Barber (Chris Evans). Andy is her father's best friend-a renowned, principled lawyer-older, married, and entirely off-limits. Andy is the embodiment of the structure and respect Dean never offered, and their conversations about college and her future are a balm to her battered self-esteem.
What starts as innocent mentorship quickly evolves into a charged, dangerous intimacy. Trapped between the wreckage of her first love and the forbidden intensity of her feelings for a man she can't have, Charity must navigate a complex line that could destroy his career and tear her family apart. How far is she willing to fall for the one man who finally makes her feel seen?
