Suffering from trauma when kidnapped years ago, Zahrah Ortega is forced to live in a secluded mansion for her safety. With her father jailed for crimes his lawyer claims he didn't commit, Zahrah finds herself tasked with a difficult mission--she must pretend to be the secretary of the new prosecutor to get evidence that could set her father free. Zahrah believes she can fulfill her mission, but when she meets the cold and mysterious prosecutor, she is suddenly unsure what to think. With the doubts starting to cloud her thoughts and remnants of her past haunting her back, can Zahrah set aside her growing feelings for the prosecutor to uncover the truth once and for all?
