What would you do if you had a second chance at first love? Ten years ago, Annika and Jonathan were college sweethearts. But a tragedy shattered their love story, destroying the life they had planned together.

A decade later, they encounter each other once again. Annika is living her dream life as a librarian, while Jonathan is now a Wall Street wiz.
