Deandra selalu punya satu aturan sederhana dalam hidupnya: jangan pernah jatuh cinta. Di usia 24 tahun, ia sudah terlalu sering melihat bagaimana cinta menghancurkan orang. Jadi ia memilih aman-bertato, bersikap dingin, menjaga jarak. Semua orang boleh dekat, tapi tak boleh terlalu dalam. Sayangnya, hati tidak pernah benar-benar patuh pada logika. Di tengah terapi yang ia jalani untuk menyembuhkan trauma masa kecilnya, Deandra justru dipaksa menghadapi satu hal yang paling ia hindari: perasaan yang tumbuh tanpa izin. Tatapan yang terlalu lama. Kepedulian yang terasa berbeda. Seseorang yang tak pergi meski ia berkali-kali menyuruhnya menjauh. Ia tahu risikonya. Ia tahu bagaimana akhirnya nanti. Tapi bagaimana kalau untuk pertama kalinya, ada seseorang yang tidak ingin menyelamatkannya, melainkan memilih tinggal dan berjalan bersamanya? Di antara luka yang belum sembuh dan masa lalu yang terus mengejar, Deandra harus memilih: tetap memeluk ketakutannya... atau mencoba mempercayai cinta, meski itu berarti membuka kemungkinan untuk hancur lagi. Karena terkadang, yang paling menakutkan bukanlah patah hati- melainkan bahagia, dan tidak tahu cara mempertahankannya. Esensi Cinta adalah cerita tentang trauma yang tidak selesai, tentang keluarga yang tidak sempurna, dan tentang keberanian paling sulit: membiarkan diri sendiri bahagia.
