As Tom grapples with his past and the dangers of his secret, he finds himself drawn to a captivating French teacher. But can he risk opening his heart when time is his greatest enemy? A poignant exploration of love, loss, and what it truly means to live.

The key to happiness isn't being rich; it's doing something you love.
