Abby (Aubrey) has always believed in happy endings, even when life gave her every reason not to. Diagnosed with Huntington's disease at 17, she's spent years fighting a battle she knows has no guaranteed cure. Now, as her symptoms begin to progress, hope becomes harder to hold onto, until she meets Kai (Lance), a young doctor reluctantly involved in a clinical drug trial that could change everything.
For Kai, the trial was never about saving lives-it was a stepping stone. His chief promised to sign off his resignation if he participated, giving him the freedom to finally leave the country. But Abby wasn't part of the plan. With every hospital visit, every quiet conversation, and every glimpse into her unshakable spirit, something in him starts to shift.
Can a trial that began out of obligation... become her only lifeline?
Can love bloom... between two people standing on opposite sides of fate?
