Toni is a hardworking, capable, driven young woman who excels at everything she does, except, her love life.
It's not like she hasn't tried, she has had boyfriends, even been engaged once, but it just never works out. She always feels like she is just going through the motions, she just never really connects.
As a result, she has been avoiding dating, after giving up on finding Mr Right or even Mr GoodEnough.
Hell, she even settled for Mr AtLeastHeIsStickingAround until she discovered he was really Mr CheatingBehindHerBack.
Unfortunately for her, while she is preoccupied with a work issue, a colleague manages to trick her into agreeing to go on a blind-date with a friend of his.
Reluctantly, she decides to give it one last try and goes all out, getting dolled up and putting herself out there, one, last, time.
When the blind date stands her up and she discovers that even the stunning redhead at the other end of the bar has been stood up too, it just seems to prove what she already knows.
It's easier just being alone.
But what if........
What if neither of them were stood up at all?
"I finally passed by the last alley before the one my apartment was situated on, when suddently my heart stopped. My body freezed and my ears were ringing from the loud sound of the end. The smell of death, fear and blood. It all happened so soon, too soon.
She was just standing there watching as the life was flowing out of the guy's body that was now laying on the cold concrete, lifeless. Her tall figure... so powerful, confident.
I watched everything wide eyed and then, the world had stopped. Her head suddently turned towards me and, oh my God. I could feel those sharp, green eyes burning a hole right through my skull in the darkness. I held my breath and quickly hid behind the wall but it was too late. I was foolish. I should've ran away."

But fate has a twisted way of pulling opposites together. What happens when light collides with shadow?
