Florence thought surviving was enough. After losing her family in a tragic accident, she learns to hide her grief behind a smile convincing enough to fool everyone, including herself.

Starting over in a place that no longer feels familiar, Florence is forced to face a life she never asked for.

Someone who sees through the smiles. Someone who finds you, even when you've been lost all along. Because sometimes, the greatest love stories aren't about saving each other. They're about finding the courage to heal-together.
