In the aftermath of war, Bucky Barnes struggles to find his place in a world that still sees him as a threat. Haunted by his past as the Winter Soldier and burdened by guilt, he drifts through sleepless nights and empty glasses-until a chance encounter at a dimly lit bar leads him to Y/N, a sharp-tongued bartender with secrets of her own.

But Y/N isn't just another face in the crowd. She's an agent of Hydra, sent to do what no one else has managed-to bring the Winter Soldier back into the fold, whether through deception or destruction. Skilled in seduction and manipulation, she's always been the one in control.

Until now.

As lines blur and motives shift, both Bucky and Y/N find themselves trapped in a dangerous game-one where loyalty is tested, betrayal is inevitable, and the past refuses to stay buried. Because in the end, you can only run from the truth for so long before it catches up to you.
