Family Ties (This is just the beginning)
15 parts Ongoing Fresh out of high school and ready for a new beginning, Lilly moves into her first apartment, eager to embrace college life. But her plans for a quiet start are thrown off course when she bumps-quite literally-into Ryder, a charming stranger she met at the airport. Their connection is instant, filled with stolen glances, butterflies, and late-night conversations.
But just as Lilly begins to settle in, her past crashes back into her life. Her estranged brother, absent for years, suddenly resurfaces with secrets too dark to ignore. And when Ryder overhears a conversation that ties her family to something dangerous-something deadly-Lilly realizes she's not just running from memories. She's running from a threat she never saw coming.
With her brother tangled in a web of lies and a mysterious girl lurking in the shadows, Ryder and Lilly must navigate a world where trust is fragile and the past is far from buried. As their feelings grow stronger, so do the dangers surrounding them.
Will they uncover the truth before it's too late? Or will the ghosts of Lilly's past tear them apart-forever?
