Entering into a relationship with an older woman introduces Zoe to a world she previously thought unreachable. Their love story begins. Now married with two children, Zoe is sick of living a lie. On the outside she's a loving and beloved wife, but inside she's a nervous wreck. She knows she must escape this secret darkness, but how?
