After one too many snorts of cocaine, Briar wakes up to a different more friendlier environment and to an even friendlier face who introduces himself as Emerson Gray. Old wounds get healed while new ones take their place until there's no more space in the heart to hurt. Love always prevails. But what if it doesn't?
