He controls every aspect of his existence to avoid messy entanglements. Then, he meets Rosie and realises it is possible to want more; to open himself up to the possibility of actually needing someone. But will a single decision he made more than a decade earlier have the power to unravel their dark attraction? Or will he be able to prevent Rosie from discovering the truth?
