Victoria -Vicy- Mercury is independent and will not let anyone do anything for her, Vicy works as a bouncer for a near bar, her best friend Mia is like her little sister, anyone hurts her they answer to Vicy. When walking in Brooklyn one day from her and Mia's apartment Vicy gets accidentally knocked in the head by a New Yorker, and Vicy -the southern Belle- goes to fight him, but something stops her from it. And when he leaves her later on, poor Vicy never gets to finish what they had started that night eight years ago when they we're both eighteen. Mia Kingsley has a rough life. Her dad likes to hit, her mom's a drug addict, and she can't stay out of trouble. Mia wished for years that she could disappear into a book, a movie, her car engine, music, rugby, or just in general, she hated life. That was until Vicy, she gave her a sense of family and love that she never had before. Eight years after meeting that blond New York (that somehow she had never met before) she finds someone that gives her a sense of love but does Mia even believe in love?
