Joey Lynch is sinking under the weight of addiction and a life spiraling out of control, and Aoife Molloy refuses to let him go down without a fight—even as she finds herself drowning right alongside him. What starts as her desperate determination to save her best friend becomes something far more complicated when the feelings she's buried for years refuse to stay hidden. As they navigate heartbreak, setbacks, and the messy reality of loving someone battling their demons, both Joey and Aoife will have to decide if they're strong enough to reach the surface together. This is a raw, emotional journey about fighting for the people we love most, even when the fight threatens to destroy us.
