It proves to be more difficult than either of them believe as nuisances and demons from the past plague their newly budding relationship. It's up to Garrett to take control and Clara to hold tight. The question remains for them both on whether there is anything beyond the dark when holding onto the light.

He watched people fall in love as he made his way through life. But he didn't know what surprise he was in for when the clock hit zero. Neither expected the other. Everything was picture perfect at first... until reality set in. They were complete opposites, and not in the cliche way.
