After the tragic death of Max's older sister years prior, Max's world turns dark and cold. He doesn't see the value in life and in caring for others and being cared for anymore. So he takes it upon himself to live lonely, and dwell in this darkness.

Melody is a young girl with the will to do right. Experiencing life with problems of her own, she's always made it her duty to remain present to her true self. So when Max and Melody meet, she is met with the hard reality check of her dreams, as well as the reality of her life and his.

With a looming murder case hanging over their heads, Max and Melody eventually find comfort in one another and their relationship develops much deeper than two strangers who butt heads whenever they meet.

Through childhood memories, family turmoil, and days filled with rain, they both end up running to the same place for protection from the downpour...

Eachother.

But how long will this place stand, until there's a flood filled with emotion, and secrets unfold?
