Danielle Banks is 25 years old and fresh out of law school. Everyone nags her about not having a man. You could say she's an independent woman. Her mother always told her to never depend on another mans hand. She's the type that doesn't need a man and doesn't really want one. She's locked up her heart, and thrown away the key, not wanting to love or be loved. Why you ask? Well, 3 years before she graduates, the guy she'd loved for 4 years got sentenced to 10 years in prison. Without her letters or phone calls being returned, from him, she starts to lose hope. What will happen when he shows up on her door step? How will she react when he tells her something that's going to change her life? What if she learns that not everything is as it seems? What if everything she thinks she knows about her family is a lie? What will happen when her world is turned upside down?
