They were only supposed to spend one night together. But things get complicated... Win has no plans in her life; her best friend, her run-down apartment, her part-time job at the local café suit her and make her happy despite everything. She's even managed to turn her disability into a strength. When she meets Bo at a costume party, everything changes, because finally she's stepping out of her comfort zone.
They spend the night together - it's the best sex of her life! Except that Bo leaves Win the next morning, without a backward glance, and without even giving her her real name or phone number. A few weeks later, an unexpected event will turn everything upside down. Win has to move in with Bo, even though they don't even know each other
