Riven seems to be a normal, ordinary girl. She may be a little more quiet than the average person, and may be more interested in books than dresses and makeup, but she doesn't seem to have any problems.
However, under all of that, she is struggling mentally with her past abusive life, and everyday it is a struggle not to snap.
But when she meets a girl named Aro, who was diagnosed with OCD, she realizes that maybe there are problems with the ordinary.

The club wasn't where she imagined herself working, but it was the only place that would take her. The air was thick with smoke, and the neon lights did little to chase away the darkness inside. People came and went-some looking for trouble, others caught in things they shouldn't have been. She'd seen men dragged into the back rooms, beaten up for not paying in time or failing to do their part. And then there was her-the club owner. Cold, calculated, and feared by everyone who walked through the doors. She ran this place with a tight grip, and she didn't tolerate mistakes. No one dared to cross her, not without consequences. And yet, every time their eyes met, something shifted, an unsettling pull that she couldn't quite explain. She didn't know what it meant, or why it unsettled her so much. But one thing was certain: the longer she stayed here, the more complicated everything would become...
