A former FBI agent.
A Brazilian dancer.

Two souls haunted by ghosts of their past.
One looking for retribution, the other for atonement. Both seeking solace.

A solitary existence is all they know, until fate brings them together. Mutual attraction leads to the perfect pact that will keep them safe. No commitment, just friendship and sex. But nothing in life is risk free.

When suppressed emotions emerge, a seemingly impossible decision has to be made. Do they fight their growing feelings or retrace their lives back to where wounded hearts can be broken once more?

I throw my keys to the kitchen counter and fetch a water bottle from the fridge. I step out onto the balcony and slouch on one of the brown loungers. The apartment is not wide enough to contain my frustration. Drinking the cold water, I stare ahead aimlessly as the sky slowly converts into a darker blanket.
