When Audrey and Fraser tumble into a love story for the ages, theirs is an epic, unbreakable romance - until one tragic moment upends everything.

Facing the unimaginable, wrestling with guilt, they're left haunted by 'what ifs'.

Would their lives still have imploded if they'd done one little thing differently? Where would they be if events had unfolded the other way around?

This is a love story - but not the one you're expecting.
