Secrets don't make friends, but perhaps equal amounts of baggage can keep two people balanced. Brenna's husband died in a car accident just before their first anniversary. She has been trying to make sense of her new life and deal with the trauma ever since. She starts teaching in a new district and soon becomes intrigued with the night janitor, Vincent. As lonely as she is, she'll take the company of anything that moves. When things start to progress in their relationship, some wounds are torn open wide enough to where they can start to heal.
