Seeking solace and purpose, she channels her grief into founding an outreach program aimed at helping others heal from their own pasts. But as Lily begins to build a community of survivors, she is confronted by the shadow of her past: J, the man responsible for her mother's death.

When J reappears, claiming to have changed and offering to help her cause, Lily is torn between her desire for closure and the instinct to protect herself. As she navigates the complexities of trust and betrayal, the line between predator and ally blurs. The more she learns about J's history, the more she questions her own ability to discern truth from manipulation.

As the outreach program gains momentum, Lily finds strength in her community, forging deep connections that offer hope and healing.

In a high-stakes confrontation, Lily must face her fears, confront her trauma, and ultimately decide whether to embrace forgiveness or seek justice.
