Lily is a free-spirited, determined woman who has built a life despite her troubled childhood. She opens a flower shop and meets an intriguing and handsome neurosurgeon. Despite his “no dating” rule, Lily breaks through Ryle’s tough exterior. As they begin to fall in love, Lily starts to see a different side of him and begins to ask herself why the rule was in place. At the same time, Atlas, her first love, reenters the picture, drumming up memories, but also imposing new challenges on her relationship with Ryle. In this story of breaking the cycle of trauma, we see how love can be both the thing that saves us, and the thing that breaks us.
