Not loving and not been loved is presumably the greatest nightmare anyone could be faced with. Ever pondered on what could greater than a physical scar? Christian (30) lost his parents quite young, ends up with a family that should create love but he got more than he bargained for. His growing up has been from one rejection to another. He knew not how to love and how to receive love. From not getting attention from his parents, to been abused and broken by the one family that was supposed to be his solace. As fate would have it, what could be his cure seems to come from where he would never have thought. Would he be brave enough to grab hold of the opportunity?? Will he leap of faith and realize his scars are signs of his strength and not his weaknesses? Vanessa (28) an only child, who witnessed the downhill of her mother’s marriage leading to her death. Sworn to never forgive the man who has a hand in her bitterness towards love and anything surrounding that gender. In a bid to help a friend heal from the past, would she get the healing she also secretly yearn for?? Gina (28) her mother’s daughter. She probably took too much from her mother. Including her self-centeredness. She grew up with Christian, helping him create a childhood no child should ever pass through. She’s also a friend of Vanessa, a friend turned sister. Caught in between selfish and being selfless, what do you think Gina would do? Christian meeting Vanessa is quite coincidental. He felt things stir in him that he never knew he possesses. Being in denial of his feelings, he met Gina, his worst nightmare. Gina seems to be the only one standing between his past and his future and at the same time, might also be a link. Would he fight for his inner peace and love?? Or will he accept that he doesn’t deserve to love and be loved?
