A little hate draws the maze...long and fueled by what is mistaken for love. Hailey's been taunted and used all her life, broken, hurt, traumatised. She stops believing in people, in the world and herself...then along comes Xavier, the good looking middle aged professor, her heart beats for him and his for her.....but they find themselves in a world, where even the purest of roses are cursed with thorns.
