After being forced to constantly relive the trauma of that day, Chris Dalton's life is finally taking a turn for the better. He is embarking on a new career change as an elementary gym teacher while preparing to propose to the love of his life, Laila. Everything seems to be falling into place until he meets the girl in the cargo-pants, Ada Zabala, a special education teacher whose classroom happens to be right next to his office. There is something about Ada that captivates him, but he struggles to pinpoint it. Could it be the pain behind her eyes? Could it be the secrets she carries from her past? Or could it just be the way she fills him up and makes him feel like he isn't the only one with demons? The problem is: can two dark and empty souls fill each other up when their pasts are constantly clashing with the present? The even bigger problem? He made a promise to marry Laila, how can he break that promise? Ada just got out of an abusive relationship and swears off dating men from work, until he follows her to her classroom after she ran out of a meeting crying. His genuine worry for her made her feel seen. It made her feel heard. It made her feel like she was no longer alone. Though, as much as she wants him, Chris is already in a committed relationship and she isn't ready for another one. However, no matter how much they fight the urge, can they really stay apart? Why is he so drawn to her, and why can't she resist him despite knowing they're not healthy for one another? Secrets. Guilt. Pain. Loneliness. They know those things all too well, but will that bring them closer together, or just tear them apart harder?
