Motions of The Heart: CLOSE

Armin_Nesa
"When nightmares turn into truths and truths begin to feel like lies, some hearts bloom in the darkness while others struggle just to survive." Years ago, a scientific experiment went terribly wrong. To hide the truth, lies were built. Relationships were broken. And silence became the only way forward. But the past never stays buried. When the shadows of that experiment begin to resurface, four lives are pulled into a story they never expected to share. Nathan is haunted by a guilt that refuses to fade. Ariana shines like light against his darkest fears. Anna stands determined to protect everyone she loves. And Kye Yon… will destroy anything that dares to threaten what he calls his. But among them walks another presence. The one they call 'fear'. And no one realizes yet how deeply that fear is connected to them all.
