Dylan and his younger sister Natalie were partners in crime, getting through everything that their mother put them through by leaning on each other. After tragedy strikes, Dylan is left lost and alone and can't bear being swallowed by the memories of her. Trying to escape the agony, he flees to the opposite side of the country and leaves behind everything that he once knew in exchange for a clean slate.

Ellie always kept to herself but wasn't able to protect herself from the life-altering abuse her ex-boyfriend put her through. Attempting to escape his grasp, she goes on vacation and takes on a new appearance, hoping to start fresh, only to return home, refusing to leave the hometown that she grew to love so much.

Loneliness, their unwillingness to quit and desperation to forget everything that haunts them drives them right into each other's arms. Unaware of who they can trust and if they should make themselves vulnerable again, they fight against the self-constructed walls that once left them feeling so protected. Is it easier to go through life with the company of a stranger who doesn't know what you've been through or with the company of someone who knows even the things that you wish you could forget? Will the two be able to overcome their trauma and hesitation or forever be haunted by their pasts?
