As David climbs the corporate ladder, the past threatens to rise up and engulf him. As he struggles, a woman comes into his life. There have been many, but Vanessa is different – she matters. David’s desperate to hold on to her, while she believes in a future for them. But can David keep the secret of his past at bay?
