But a single encounter with a stranger on the street causes him to question everything he ever thought was true about himself.

When the two meet, its fireworks, but not in the way that Ethan hoped it would be. But soon Jackson discovers that he can't stop thinking about the arrogant stranger, and realizes that maybe he was wrong about what he thought he knew; about life and himself.
