It happens to everyone- everyone except Maeve. When you're born, your clock starts ticking. Your clock stops not when you die, but when you find the person you're destined to love. When Maeve was born, her clock never started. It remains at zero for her entire life, broken as they would say. Therefore, Maeve has always believed she will never find love.

Now an adult, Maeve fills the void of affection with writing, but even that isn't going well. She hasn't written a story that thrills her in almost a year. It's hard to write a story people want to read when you aren't happy with your own story, but things are about to change for Maeve.

Her life is shaken as she builds and tests relationships with the people she loves and begins a journey of self-discovery, all while battling an external threat. Maeve must learn to trust the timing of life, and she might not end up alone after all.
