Overwhelmed by her mother’s addiction to gambling and her brother’s constant request for money, Maya Bloom finds herself broke when her boss offers her a promotion she can’t refuse. She is a young and talented scientist working at a research lab who is more comfortable with theory than practice. Because of her family and money struggles, shy Maya leads a study on a technology that could change the lives of millions.

He is rude to her at first, but as they get to know each other better, they become friends. However, when their relationship starts to grow into a more serious one, Maya discovers he has serious issues with intimacy and trust. She feels drawn to him and his terrible life story, but at the same time, what if he just wants to take advantage of her caring selflessness like her family once did?
