One night, while closing up at her part-time job, Sylvie stumbles upon an injured man. After helping him on his feet, and watching him shuffle off into the night, Sylvie goes into her last year of college with an enthusiasm to finally set her life back on track. What she doesn't expect, however, is to quite literally run into the man she helped, now fully healed. He's curt and suspicious of her but is committed to settle the debt of her kindness.
