When her ex-friend-turned-boyfriend reappears in her life, Anna must put her hurt and resentment aside to help him survive his withdrawal before he relapses, or worse, dies in the process.
Two years ago, Anna's boyfriend disappeared, leaving Anna hurt and abandoned in a new city to rebuild her life. Until he appears at her doorstep, begging for something to eat and a place to sleep. Bitter and determined not to let him hurt her again, Anna agrees. As she witnesses the slow deterioration of his physical and mental health, however, and with flashes of their past together haunting every waking moment, her resolves begin to weaken. Can Anna save Kyle from his self-destructive behaviors or will she lose him once again? This time, forever.
