She doesn't want to fall in love, he has been in love for a long time...

Carla Santos doesn't think anything nice about love. Not even about unbearably nice, attractive young men like Mitchell, her best friend's brother and the captain of the varsity swim team.

Carla needs a hard shell so that life can no longer hurt her and to be able to study, work and take care of her two brothers. She has neither time nor energy for fun and love, but none of the other students have any idea about her demanding life. Not even her closest friends, with one exception, and that is her roommate Lenny.

She dislikes Mitchell Carl because she thinks he is the perfect golden child. She herself fights with many fears and demons that woke up after an unpleasant event at a party, where she also came exceptionally. Mitchell manages to gradually break down Carla's protective walls, but it is not clear whether Carla will finally be able to overcome her greatest fear.

Will she admit she likes Mitchell? Can he save himself and his brothers? Or will he lose his brothers and his love?
