   Summary

   A legal document, forgotten but not erased, drags a man who has just walked away from everything back to the bedside of the woman he left behind, forcing them to navigate the wreckage of her body and their shared history. Now he must decide how far he is willing to go to help bring the woman he loves back.

    

   With this love like a hole
   Swallow my soul
   Draggin me down
   And I swear I'll stay with you
   But I just can't forgive you
   And I'll never be whole again
   — 'Litost'
