Ivy has been dying since the day she was born. Her famous mother, Scarlett, signed her away like a dirty secret. Her adoptive family crumbled under grief and alcohol. At fifteen, Ivy collapses in front of flashing cameras, her failing heart finally ready to quit.
Scarlett shows up at the hospital, not to comfort her, but to bury her.
Only Ivy doesn't die.
A transplant drags her back into a world that never wanted her, chained to the custody of the one woman who resents her most. Living under Scarlett's roof is like bleeding in a shark tank, every word sharp, every silence suffocating, every glance heavy with everything unspoken.
Because when life returns, pain stays.
Cardiac Arrest explores one of the least talked about taboos to date - maternal abandonment - and how it affects both the child and the mother. With an illness hanging over them, pushing the story forward, Cardiac Arrest sheds light even in the darkest corners.

He was mysterious and seemed a little bit standoffish. He seemed rude and like he didn't belong.
Meeting him went well, and she catches his eye.
Going to school together and their families spending some time together causes them to grow closer. So close that things happen.
What happens? Do sparks fly?
