In the heart of a cold city that never forgets, Dominic “Dom” Randle, 42, a street-savvy, emotionally closed-off man, is stuck in a loveless marriage with his wife, Sharice, the mother of his college-age twin daughters. The passion’s been gone for years, but the routine and reputation keep them tied.

Across town, Sarai Ellis, 34, is six months pregnant with her late husband’s child. She’s quiet, guarded, and still healing from the trauma of his sudden death. Trying to piece together a new life, Sarai crosses paths with Dom at a community grief support event. He’s kind, attentive… and a welcome calm in her storm.

Dom finds something in Sarai that he didn’t know he was still missing. He begins showing up for her, protecting her, holding her together—never mentioning the wife he goes home to.

Their connection deepens. But Sarai’s pregnancy makes her more cautious than ever. When she finds out Dom is married—with a whole family—the betrayal shatters her. And when Sharice catches wind of it? Streets talk. Guns don’t.
