Karla is a 28 year old and unlucky in love, unable to find the right man. She is rescued from an unpleasant situation by an American man who had lived in England for the past ten years. He is everything she has ever wanted in a man. They fall deeply in love, but he has been in the US military and has done some terrible things. He had therapy before moving to the UK, but the deeper they fall in love, the more the therapy unravels.

They play a game that goes very badly wrong, but instead of destroying her, it makes her stronger.
