They embark on an idealized relationship, despite trauma and heartbreak on both sides, only to be forced apart shortly after.
Tara enters college and is forced to confront the ugly side of life, losing contact with her first love. As time marches on, she yearns to know what could have been … until fate presents her with one last opportunity twenty years later. Will she take it?
