Beyond the Spotlight's Reach

​To the world, Naia Isabelle has everything. To herself, she is just a well-packaged product waiting to be sold to the highest bidder. So, she did the unthinkable: she ran.

​She traded the luxury of Manila for a dusty workshop in Cagayan, and her polished fiancé for Rocco-a cold, brooding mechanic who looks at her like she's nothing but trouble. He doesn't know her name, and he doesn't want to know her story. All he wants is for her to leave before the ghosts of his own past catch up to them.

​But beyond the reach of the spotlight, the lines between acting and reality begin to blur. In the heat of the North, they find a connection that feels more real than any script they've ever followed.

​The problem with running, though, is that eventually, you run out of road. And in the dark, even the people you trust most have shadows of their own.
