Haunted by the scars of war and grappling with PTSD, he isolates himself from the world, convinced he can never find peace. His once vibrant spirit is now dulled by nightmares, self-doubt, and an overwhelming sense of loss.

Through Onika's patience, warmth, and skill, Aubrey begins to rediscover pieces of himself he thought were lost forever. As she carefully styles his hair and offers her unwavering support, their relationship deepens, moving beyond professional boundaries. Together, they face their inner struggles, sharing dreams, fears, and vulnerabilities.
