Saudade is a word for a sad state of intense longing for someone or something that is absent.
Julia was only 11 when she met Ashton, the kind and charming 18-year-old boy next door. She was a troublemaker, always getting into fights and finding herself in bad situations, but Ashton was always there to help her, to protect her. Over time, they built a sweet, innocent bond that made Julia feel safe for the first time in her life.
But one day, everything changed. Julia was in an accident, a serious one. When she woke up, she couldn't remember what had happened that day. All she knew was that Ashton was gone. His whole family had left without saying goodbye. And to Julia, it felt like he had abandoned her when she needed him the most.
Fifteen years later, Julia is strong, successful, and ready to start a new job at a top company, Hale & Co. She's moved on...or so she thinks. On her first day, she walks into her new office and finds herself face to face with her new boss... Ashton.
He remembers her. She remembers him. But nothing feels the same. Ashton is distant, serious, and clearly hiding something. As strange things start happening around her, Julia begins to realize that Ashton didn't leave without a reason. And whatever happened the day of her accident... might be the reason they were torn apart.
