    The human heart is an abyss.
        
        Through tunnels, and chambers, the organ beats and the world, in each persons life, continues to churn. With that heart, life is a reality. 
        
        But, every so often, exceptions have to be made.
        
        Every so often a heart breaks, truly breaks, and all the pieces of life and reality become a haze. That heart is beating, but only sustaining.
        
        There is only one cure, one remedy- one antidote.
        
        That is love.
        
        ...
        
        There is nothing like the search for the perfect story.
        
        For Josephine Taylor, head journalist in a bustling Seattle magazine, where jobs are fought, not won, Aidan Hughes is that story...the story that will combine both truth and intrigue. 
        
        Plagued by tragedy, the handsome photographer has secluded himself to a remote town, denying anyone who seeks to exploit him. 
        
        For Josephine, Aidan Hughes is a jackpot of mystery, the perfect subject to propel her career into it's highest form. Like all the others, he intends to send her away.
        
        But, when a storm blows in, trapping them in his family estate, concessions will be made...
        
        Deep, dark secrets will be revealed...
        
        And unwilling hearts will be touched.
