Mara Thomas is depressed. She wants to start over and leave her past behind. Trauma has left her socially stunted, struggling to maintain friendships. She has no interest in ever dating again, although she won’t say why. She needs to work through her troubled past and personality flaws to succeed in her new life, but she can’t seem to motivate herself to try.

 

Logan Donnelly is also depressed, complete with a drinking problem. He is haunted by his own past. Like Mara, he struggles to move forward in a healthy way. He’s annoyed at Mara for sulking around at parties and social gatherings, claiming her depression is depressing him. He needs to take accountability for his own life, but always seems to fail in that department.

 

The last thing either of them needs is to get tangled up in a secret relationship, but that’s exactly where they find themselves. With all their time spent focused on each other, neither makes any headway on their individual issues. When their worlds come together, they come apart. Now, the fire they inadvertently lit is turning everything around them to ash, and it may burn away their future instead of just their troubled pasts.
