Life is full of variables. We crave control, but in reality, we have very little. Hadley left home with a plan to get the full college experience. After losing her mother, she lost a part of herself and she doesn’t have room for attachments. Scarred from her past, Hadley just wants her life to be normal. She wants to have fun and forget the past that she’s leaving behind. But life doesn’t go as planned and when she meets Ander, everything changes. Ander lives his life going from one high to the next. He’s a bad boy with haunting blue eyes and a history of making terrible decisions. He was never part of her plan, but neither of them can deny what is happening between them. What starts out as fun begins to develop into something much darker and toxic. Their love is explosive, but Ander is an addict who is quickly spiraling out of control. And nothing will stop him from taking her down with him. Ander is the one variable in her life that she will never control. And they are destined for destruction.

It has been six months since Ander walked out of Hadley’s life without looking back. Ander ruined her and left Hadley to pick up the pieces of his destruction alone. His addiction was demanding and their love never stood a chance against it. Ander craved the poison that he injected into his veins and in the end, that was the only thing that mattered. One fateful night, one detrimental accident. That’s all it takes to shatter Hadley’s already fragile world. Ander has come back to ruin what’s left of her. Hadley should walk away, but Ander holds the missing pieces of her broken heart. Contrary to the popular belief: love does not conquer all. His love for heroin won. His love for Hadley died. Or so she thought…

After a terrifying health scare, Ander is finally getting the help he needs. He’s running out of options and needs the treatment. The only thing is, he hasn’t been honest with Hadley. One truth leads to a cascade of events that all circle back to one thing… Ander’s addiction. Life is never easy and the road to recovery is paved with shattered glass. Hadley’s in love with an addict that harbors more secrets than Pandora’s Box. Ander is in love with the girl that deserves more than he can give her. Their love was built on a mountain of lies and broken promises. When it all comes crashing down, will their love survive? Or will they finally fall apart?

Ander has run out of options. He has starved every relationship in his life while he continued to feed his addiction. Hadley is gone. His mom kicked him out. He’s officially hit rock bottom and he knows that there’s only one way out. Going back into treatment is his Hail Mary and he has no choice but to get clean and stay clean. After ending things with Ander, Hadley needs to find herself again. When she looks in the mirror, she doesn’t recognize herself anymore. She has turned into the one thing she feared and it’s all because of him. She’s a liar, with a secret. And when Ander finds out, their lives will be changed forever. Love doesn’t conquer all, but it’s more forgiving than we think. When the poison runs dry, will Hadley’s truth be enough to save them?
