When her senior year of college comes to an end, Jenna DeLuca, focused and ready to face the world, falls into something much deeper than she has ever expected. She discovers a love unlike any other. A deep, spiritual love that most people don’t come across in their lifetime. Jenna is introduced to Joey Fantini by a couple of mutual friends and they’re both surprised by their rapid attraction. Jenna wasn’t looking for a relationship at the time, but her decision to let him in leads her to a happiness she had never felt before. When an unexpected death occurs, it ends up becoming a bigger obstacle than they could have ever imagined and their relationship fails to strengthen. After facing a nervous breakdown and picking herself up off the ground, Jenna regains her strength and her old self begins to shine through. When she meets another man, the first man who ignites unusual sparks inside of her, she is hesitant but is now on a chase for real happiness. Before long, at the point of any disagreement, Jenna’s mind wanders to the one man who she feels her heart belongs to, Joey. Afraid of rejection from Joey and still holding some resentment from the demise of their relationship, Jenna decides what she needs most is time alone. But after a surprise visit from Joey on her birthday, Jenna is forced to look deep within her heart to find out if love really is enough.
