Adine Griffith and Sebastian Alrik are worlds apart, brought together by a wicked twist of fate that ends in an unwilling matrimony. Adjustment to married life becomes a hurdle, but through relentless arguments and unwanted compromises, their life together seems almost bearable. But the secrets of their past and their unwillingness to open up to each other becomes a barrier between them; keeping them from the trust and support that marriage would have otherwise provided for them. As their dislike for one another slowly dissipates, it becomes apparent that while Adine is trying her best to ignore the trauma of her past and outrun the horrors that plague her, Sebastian is chasing his own; running head-on with an unwavering thirst for revenge. But will the binds of their spoken vows be enough to keep them together? Or will it be too late, with death doing them part? After all, the truth hurts, but secrets kill. Quite literally, in their case.
