Some people wear masks. Perhaps their wounds are so ugly that their greatest desire is to avoid looking at them in the reflection of the mirror.

What do they hide behind them?

Gravity Monaghan fought for years in search of her professional fulfillment, but finds herself in a draining situation as an intern for a designer who has no intention of helping her grow. Her dream of becoming a big name in the fashion industry seems more and more distant, and after he returns to her life, it feels like her options have narrowed to him.

Ashton Baker is living the peak of his success as the most talked-about member of the famous rock band, The Reckless. Driven by sex and a series of controversies surrounding his name, the latest trouble he got into during his world tour—the most important of his career—was the tipping point for the other band members and his team.

He needs her to change his image, while she needs him to stand out.

Amid distrust and anger, Gravity and Ashton face an even more disturbing feeling: resentment.

They haven’t forgotten what happened, but even though they won’t admit it, they are drawn to each other.

It’s not just their stories that haunt them, but the secrets they keep lead them to live under a web of lies.

It’s all about cause and effect, and the past always comes back to claim its price.
