After Aspen talks him down from a ledge, Julius becomes convinced that Aspen is his guardian angel. With her skeptical, pessimistic mentality, Aspen is overwhelmed by the obligation to play the role of Julius' "savior." Soon, the growing pain from her broken family life begins to get in the way of her efforts to keep Julius hopeful. Does she abandon Julius and risk his life, or does she continue her commitment to him as her own well-being deteriorates to a dangerous level?
