A Higher Understanding

Louis Alphonse is a man down on his luck and empty bottles.

Jerrica Medina is a rebellious free spirit who won't let rules hold her down.

When they meet at Monroe University, it was by chance. After losing a job at a different school, Jerrica accepts a position handed to her but knows she has to do everything to prove she deserves it. At the same time, Louis is handed a pink slip, warning him that termination is around the corner. No one else needed to know that about them. A secret wrapped with rumors.

For Louis, it was always, "Sober up or you're fired."

For Jerrica, it was always, "Follow the rules or you're fired."

They needed to get away and breathe; to live without judging eyes staring at them. It took just one night, and the two found themselves in bed with the other. "Just once," they said. But they couldn't avoid each other, and hiding their relationship became difficult.

They needed to decide: Find a way to keep their relationship a secret and protect their situation or throw responsibility to the wind and take a chance at love?
