McKenna Carrington was told by many of her educators that she was too average to be taken seriously. Yet she somehow managed to work her way to the top of nursing school. With her graduation just around the corner and one placement left to go, her boyfriend's once masked jealousy starts to escalate.
Overcome with emotion during a study session with classmate, Aster, McKenna begins to take off the rose-coloured glasses. Except she realises that leaving isn't as easy as people say.
Whilst on her final placement in Adelaide, she is confronted with her past in a way that makes her wonder if she should take a leap of faith and go for what was once impossible. Or if she goes back to Cairns and forgets about her aspirations once again.
This is a story of resilience, self-love, and building healthy relationships & boundaries.
