Strings of love, affection, commitment and lust kept Samantha and Jake together from the time she crushed on him, to when he finally asked her out.
Samantha has a history of dumping people. She manages to find unhappiness in every relationship that she gets into. She thinks she is chronically unhappy, that no matter how amazing the person she is with, she starts finding faults with him and ends up breaking up with him.
When Samantha pulls the strings of her relationship too hard, Jake realizes it. Jake can either let the strings break like every either relationship, or he can do his best to save them.
Will Samantha ever realize that every relationship has flaws, and learn to embrace them, or will she let go of possibly the best thing that may have happened to her; Jake?
"How did we get so tangled in the strings meant to hold us together?"
