Breakaway

The best love affairs are those that we never pursue. We live them out in our heads, the perfect fantasy of what could be.

Drowning his sorrows in a bar one night, he finds anonymous comfort and a fleeting connection with a stranger. He wakes up shocked, with the realization that he was with a man. He flees the scene, only to discover a cruel twist of fate: the stranger's unit is directly across the hall from his own.

The stranger turns out to be Arishiley Lee Benitez, a serious and cold law student who keeps everyone at a distance. Trapped as neighbors in the same condo building, their lives become hopelessly intertwined. As the walls between their units and their hearts begin to crumble, they must confront family conflicts, deep-seated secrets, and an undeniable attraction.

Can they breakaway from their pasts to find an authentic future together, or will the proximity and secrets prove too much to handle?
