The film opens with Nick surprising Noah at a party, sweeping her off her feet amidst the disapproving glares of their parents, Rafaella and William. The tension between the two families is palpable as the parents remain determined to keep Nick and Noah apart.
Meanwhile, life’s demands pull the couple in different directions. Noah is preparing for medical school, and Nick begins an internship at his father’s company. Nick accepts his grandfather’s offer of a lavish apartment near her campus to stay close to Noah; however, when Noah assumes this implies living together, Nick hesitates, showing he’s not ready for that level of commitment, leading Noah to find her apartment, where she moves in with her new roommate, Briar.
Briar’s Mysterious Connection to Nick
Briar, Noah’s roommate, initially seems like a friendly stranger. However, Nick’s reaction upon meeting her is shocking—he freezes and leaves abruptly, leaving his phone behind; the story later reveals a devastating backstory: Briar once had a relationship with Nick. Together, they indulged in street racing, which tragically ended when a horrific accident left Briar severely injured. During her two-year recovery, Nick disappeared from her life, abandoning her at her lowest point. To make matters worse, Briar was pregnant at the time, and Nick’s grandfather orchestrated her institutionalization, leading to her losing the baby.
The history resurfaces as Briar’s physical and emotional scars are a grim reminder of Nick’s past mistakes. For Noah, this only adds complexity to their relationship.
Sofia: A New Threat to Nick and Noah’s Bond
At his internship, Nick is paired with Sofia, a confident and attractive coworker; her presence quickly becomes a source of tension. During a dinner party, Noah notices Sofia’s flirtatious behavior with Nick and confronts him about it; this confrontation exposes Noah’s insecurities and her fear of being lied to. Though Nick denies any involvement, he fails to open up about his past with Briar, further eroding trust between them.
A Mother’s Fight for Her Son
Anabel, Nick’s estranged mother, brings another twist to the tale. She shares documents with Noah, proving she didn’t abandon Nick willingly. Nick’s grandfather exploited Anabel’s past infidelity to force her out of Nick’s life. Despite her efforts to reconnect, Nick’s anger and pain led him to reject her attempts, including tearing up her letters.
Noah’s discovery of Anabel’s story shakes her to the core, especially as it mirrors her traumatic memories of her father’s infidelity; the shared pain pushes Noah to help Anabel reveal the truth, a decision that ultimately drives a wedge between her and Nick.
