Thirty-year-old Jared Beckett has always lived his life cynically. Adding to his resentment, when Jared was 16, he had met a girl who made him question everything he believed. When she didn't return his flirtations, their two-year friendship grew strained, forced, and even painful until he said goodbye.
Nearly 14 years later, Jared has returned to his hometown for the summer, reawakening his dark memories, and her. With a new light illuminating his world, revelations about his covert friendship are revealed to his family and friends, including himself. As his secretive nature and progressing resentment deteriorate any relationships he has left, in an unexpected move, he reaches out to help her. Is she the only one who can bring down his walls, unlock Jared Beckett's unconscious heart, and revive him before it's too late?
