*****

A week-long power outage can do a lot of things, but mending a decade long broken friendship didn't seem like one of them. However, when Danielle's childhood ex-best friend and current neighbor, Nate, comes knocking on her door every two seconds, she's quickly proven wrong. As Nate uncovers the secret that his best friend raped Danielle at a party the year before, he realizes the bitterness of reality and blames himself. While Danielle fights the nightmares that come both night and day, Nate does everything in his power to better things for her, whether she agrees with them or not.
