Soon after Asia breaks up with her boyfriend of three years, she is unexpectedly swept up into a romance with Christian, a fellow employee at the insurance company where she works. It is a one-night stand that drifts into a fragile, but comforting, relationship.
Unfortunately, the emotional baggage of Asia's past, her insecurity, anger, and deep-seated fear, shatter the comfort she feels with Christian. Her obsession and need to be loved threatens their friendship and nearly destroys any possibility they have that love could exist between them.
Christian's own personal need to support Asia through her trials forces him stay in the comfort of their secret bond. But when Asia discovers a dark childhood secret, can his support and their comfort zone save her from her own self-destructive impulses?
