How far would you go to keep the ones you love?
When Sam meets Rose at a party, it's love at first sight. She's perfect in every way, but he's terrified of losing her. It's easy to blame his abusive dad or even his best friend for sabotaging his relationship, but deep down Sam knows the truth: he's not worthy of love. After all, he drove his mom away when he was ten.
As Sam drinks his way through damaged friendships and a possible breakup, his past haunts him, forcing him to come to terms with truths he's not ready to face.
