"That could never happen to me".

A single thought shared by many of the people who walk among this planet with us. Is it because people believe that they will be smart enough to avoid certain situations, or that people believe that because a situation is so rare that it most likely won't happen to them? Sometimes, these things can't be avoided, but is that always a bad thing?

Rohin is fresh out of college, and has just been placed in a job that he envisioned to be the perfect fit for him. He constantly questions his decisions about his career and degree, but rationalizes it by saying that everybody's career starts off precarious. His lives with his girlfriend of seven years, Mae. They started out as high school sweethearts and transitioned into something more serious as they both went to college. He loves her and she loves him, but things are about to change as the stress of being in a vanilla job mixes with the instability of his weathered relationship. They have done everything right, although undesirable situations have a way of dropping themselves right into your lap, no matter what you do, but Rohin finds that as his perfecting imperfect life is turned upside down, he is able to see why his life seems so austere.

Ultimately, he is led to a major choice that could either make or break his happiness.All Rights Reserved
