Riele has always lived her life carefully, steering clear of trouble and keeping to her quiet world. Her boyfriend, however, is part of a local gang-a reality she tolerates but refuses to let define her. She's determined to avoid the chaos that comes with his lifestyle, setting clear boundaries to protect herself from the dangers that lurk in the shadows.
Henry, on the other hand, is everything Riele tries to avoid. As a prominent member of the same gang, he exudes confidence, danger, and a magnetic charm that draws people to him. He's used to living life on the edge, unbothered by rules or consequences. But when their paths unexpectedly cross, something shifts.
Their first meeting is tense, a collision of two worlds that shouldn't overlap. Henry's intrigued by Riele's quiet strength and the way she seems unimpressed by his reputation. Riele, on the other hand, is wary of him, sensing the trouble he represents. Yet, despite her efforts to keep her distance, she can't ignore the pull she feels whenever he's near.
As circumstances force them into each other's orbit, Riele finds herself questioning everything she thought she wanted. Henry's charm and unexpected vulnerability begin to chip away at her defenses, leaving her torn between her commitment to her boyfriend and the undeniable connection she feels with Henry. Meanwhile, Henry is faced with emotions he's never allowed himself to feel before, challenging his own perception of what it means to belong to the gang and to live a life without attachments.
The stakes grow higher as Riele struggles to maintain control of her carefully constructed life, while Henry wrestles with the possibility of change. Their connection is undeniable, but the risks are great. Will Riele give in to the dangerous allure of Henry, or will she fight to keep her distance and preserve the life she's worked so hard to protect? And if she does let him in, what will it cost them both?
