In a world swirling with chaos and sorrow, two souls drift through the haze of uncertainty. One is a young woman devoted to living simply, nurturing dreams that seem small yet profound. The other is a young man, striving to carve out a life filled with purpose and joy, undeterred by the weight of his aspirations.
Their lives, though marked by comfort, mask a deeper struggle-an emotional and mental turmoil that threatens to engulf them. As they navigate their paths, grappling with their fears and desires, they find themselves intertwined in a moment that feels both fleeting and eternal.
Will fate weave their destinies together, guiding them toward growth and understanding? Or will a harsh reality cut the fragile threads that bind them? In this journey of self-discovery, they must confront not only their challenges but also the very essence of their connection. The road ahead is uncertain, but the choices they make could redefine what it means to truly live.
Adopted at birth, Katherine's only birthday wish is to know more about her biological mother. But as she starts her quest, Kath finds herself in the middle of a search and a blossoming romance that turns her world upside down.
