    When you're Satra Sinclair, you run away from love as fast as you can. You find every excuse in the book for being choosey about who you date, or, in her case, don't date at all. Being a successful advertising executive working for a top advertising firm in New York, she had the world in the palm of her hand. She had the love of her close-knit family, great friends, but a non-existent love life.

After being cheated on by his former girlfriend, he became very jaded about love. Being constantly chased by gold diggers didn't help either. Becoming more successful and proving to his father that he could make it without the family money was his mission in life...until he met the beautiful Satra Sinclair.

While trying to stop the evil forces determined to tear their lives apart, will these two lonely, hurt souls take a chance at love and finally choose one another?
