Dylan Adams, a young graduate, begins to face the challenges of life. Trying to sort through life, love finds her in the blink of an eye. Nasir Anthony, a young entrepreneur, becomes her lover and guardian angel, helping her through life's trials and tribulations. But as time continues, will this romance be sustained or deteriorated through the test of time?
Some people wait their whole lives to find the perfect friend.
But not Isabella Washington.

Faced with the tumultuous trials of growing up in a confusing and sometimes cruel world, Isabella and Aiden must learn to navigate the unforgiving waters of adolescence while trying to keep their lifelong friendship alive.
But they soon find themselves thrust into chaotic challenges that will test the strength of their friendship in impossible ways. As the world seems determined to tear apart their bond at the seams, these "best friends for life" must dig deep and find the strength to keep going . . . or lose their connection forever.
Can Isabella and Aiden preserve their childhood bond against the odds? Or will they face the harsh truth that sometimes, no matter how much you love someone, you can't save them?
