A fatal accident becomes the catalyst for the release of the passions, needs, and hurts in everyone affected by her hidden past.

Soon, loss and death work their magic, drawing Darlene into an unlikely affair that threatens to upend Aurilla's family and sets loose Aurilla's own memories of longing and infidelity.
