"I wish we'd remained normal. I wish I hadn't yearned for more. Perhaps then we could have stayed together."
Jensen and Sophia, childhood best friends, were once in love, happily married but are now going through a slow divorce. They're on good and bad terms; they've finally reached a good place after months of suffering but Sophia is aggressively stalling and she still won't sign the divorce papers.
Jensen needs to move forward with his life. He has already shifted careers, leaving physical therapy behind and going back to his first love: photography. He's seeing a model he's met on set of one of his recent gigs. And he feels like a brand new man.
He can't look back.
Sophia, riddled with mental illness and fighting personal demons, is still clutching at straws: at the memory of love and happiness, and a seemingly perfect fantasy that got pulled right from under her feet. She fears she might lose her only chance at being happy or normal.
She can't let go.
It all gets complicated when after a routine medical check up, one half of the couple (already falling apart) gets bad news. Perspectives shift, and they start re-visiting their pasts, their sins, failures, and their memories in new light.

He warns her about his past, about his name, but she ignores all the red flags, not realizing exactly how intertwined she is with the people from his past.
