The universe seems determined to bring together Gisele MacBride, a Forensic Social Worker, and Wesley Hawkes, a skilled Cardiothoracic Surgeon. While Wesley can mend hearts medically, he struggles to mend his own due to his arrogance that often pushes people away. His fear of love and loss threatens to rob him of true happiness and his chance at finding genuine love with Gisele.

On the other hand, Gisele excels at protecting families but struggles to shield herself from past physical and emotional wounds inflicted by her former fiancé. Despite the threat still looming over her, Gisele remains resilient, yet her trauma hinders her ability to fully open her heart to someone new.

There's a potential for Wesley to find the family he's always desired with Gisele, who may hold the key to healing his broken heart. Wesley's might offer a chance to mend Gisele's emotional scars. However, their respective fears and past traumas could act as barriers, potentially keeping them from a future together.
