Patience Hampton has crafted a nearly flawless life—on paper. Her voice acting career is thriving and she’s surrounded by a supportive family and friends. But behind her facade, she lives in the shadow of her long-term boyfriend, Daniel, selflessly supporting his dreams while neglecting her own. When a shocking betrayal shatters her illusion of happiness, she is left to pick up the pieces.

During a business trip, Patience meets Lennox Davenport, a man whose charisma and self-assuredness ignite a passion within her that she never knew existed. As their relationship deepens, she realizes she must confront the relationship residue from an absent father and a manipulative ex.

Is Patience ready to finally face the past events that threaten her growth, healing, and happiness, and love freely? Or will self-sabotage undermine her chance to experience real love?
