Beneath the cocky exterior lies a man haunted by his past and struggling to find the true meaning of his success. As Alanis and My'Elli navigate the treacherous waters of love, career, and family trauma, they must learn to trust in themselves and each other. Can they overcome the ghosts of their past and the obstacles in their path to build a future together?
