How can you let someone you're head over heels in love with into the darkest parts of your soul? The parts you keep locked away so no one can judge you.

Atticus is the star basketball player at Savanna University. He meets Rose through a mutual friend, and soon they become inseparable. When she starts to withdraw and act strange, he begins to worry about her.


One night during a panic attack, she calls him, and he rushes to her aid.


It's then that he learns about her darkest secret.
