Brandi Warren: secretive, quiet and private. Nolan Donahue: opposite of everything that she is.
With a little bit of fate, desperation and whiskey, the two are brought together as they introduce each other to their own world, two places that are just as opposite as them. But it isn't long before Nolan notices that Brandi can't stop flinching when a police cruiser goes by, or that her flashbacks make her scream.
