Andi's life takes an unexpected turn when her controlling father sends her back to the Philippines to complete her studies. With no choice but to comply, she knows her father will stop at nothing to have his way. However, there's a deeper, more compelling reason for Andi's agreement - she's determined to protect her mother from the mental and physical abuse she's endured for years at the hands of her father.
On her first day at the university, Andi's world is instantly disrupted when she crosses paths with a serious-looking but undeniably beautiful professor. The enigmatic professor, whose stern facade hides a wealth of hidden depths, turns Andi's life upside down in ways she never anticipated.

But just when Andi believes her plan is working, she finds herself drawn even closer to the captivating professor who has captured her heart.
Andi is faced with a dilemma. Should she continue down a path of self-destruction to escape her father's clutches, or should she embrace the newfound love and sense of belonging she's found in the Philippines?
