Cindy carries secrets that torture her daily. She has built her life around hiding her shame, constructing careful barriers between herself and the world. Then a kind man begins pursuing her, drawn to something he sees beneath her protective facade. He harbors his own secret, creating a delicate dance between two wounded people. One day everything Cindy has worked to conceal begins falling apart. The fabric of her carefully constructed existence starts unraveling thread by thread. Her desperate attempts to maintain her disguise fail. She watches helplessly as the layers of deception peel away, leaving her clinging to whatever remains of the life she built. The happiness she craves seems to slip further from her grasp with each revelation. Yet through this collapse, she discovers something unexpected about the nature of love and acceptance.
