Sometimes love is the only medicine that works.
After a shooting leaves 22-year-old Kairo confined to his bed, he's forced to sit with the pain-physical and emotional. Once a fast-moving poet with a dangerous past, Kairo now finds himself stuck in the silence of recovery, haunted by regret and the people he's pushed away.
When Nova, the girl who once loved him and left to save herself, reappears at his bedside, old wounds resurface. She came to check in, not check back in-but Kairo's vulnerability reveals sides of him she's never seen. As he heals, their connection deepens again, stirring up everything they tried to leave behind.
Torn between the street life that nearly took him out and the love that might finally save him, Kairo has to choose: keep running from himself or risk it all for a second chance at something real.
