Lily Bloom is a young woman living in Boston, struggling to make her dream of owning a successful business come true. She meets a neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, and their initial interactions spark an intense connection between them. However, Lily is wary of getting involved with Ryle, as she’s never been a fan of serious relationships due to her traumatic past experiences with her father, who was abusive towards her mother.
