Theo, known for his easy smiles and sunny disposition, has always been misunderstood. Behind his cheerful facade lies a man struggling with heavy responsibilities—he's been the main caretaker for his siblings ever since his mother's stroke. When he learns he'll be working alongside Audrey, he sees it as a chance to prove he's not the villain she thinks he is.
Forced proximity in the high-stakes environment of the ICU makes it impossible for Audrey to maintain her grudge. She discovers that Theo's life off the ice is as complex and demanding as her own, filled with sacrifices and care for those he loves. Theo starts to break through her defenses, where they start relying on each other for everything. But just as their relationship deepens, Audrey makes a decision to protect Theo by keeping a critical secret, which could unravel everything they've built.
