They say that life is all about second chances. Josephine Quinn-the only child to one of the biggest businessmen in the country-moves to Portland and turns a new leaf in life after going through a traumatic year at New York, her old home.

On the other hand, Timothy Russell is now out for blood after finding out that his father was killed by one of the biggest names in the country and is looking for a way to get revenge. But, he is oblivious to the fact that the only weakness of that very man would be soon walking into his life and turning it upside down.

What will happen when the circumstances pit the supposed rivals together time and again? Will they avenge their loved ones' death or will they forsake all bad blood for the sake of their own love story?

No matter the outcome, one thing is sure. It's gonna be one hell of a ride.
