Napakarami na ng problema ng bayan ng Garapal dahil sa bilang ng mga krimeng nangyayari ngunit parang mas malaki pa yata ang problema ni Ruanne. Nais lang naman ni Ruanne na makalimot sa pangangaliwa ng nobyo niya na sa kaaway pa niya napiling makipaglandian. Ngunit ang taksil niyang puso ay hindi umaayon sa gusto ng kanyang isip. Sa gitna ng kanyang pagmomove-on ay nakilala niya si Pio, ang isa sa mga staff ng sikat na tindahang 'The Shoemaker'. Ang 'The Shoemaker' lang naman ang pinakasikat na tindahan ng sapatos na mayroon lamang isang branch na nakapuwesto pa sa tapat ng boutique ni Ruanne. Ito lang din naman ang magiging kalaban ni Ruanne kung sakaling simulan niya na ang kanyang shoe line. At ang tahimik na buhay ng binatang nag-aasikaso nito ay mabubulabog dahil sa alok ni Ruanne na maging pekeng kasintahan niya na siya namang tinanggap agad ng binata. Ngunit sa pagsunud-sunod ni Ruanne kay Pio, may malalaman siyang hindi dapat. At matatagpuan niya na lamang ang sarili niyang sinusunod ang lahat ng gusto ng binata, maging sa ibabaw ng kama. At hindi lang iyon, mapapasok niya pa ang delikadong mundo ng mafia.

Isa lang naman ang hiling ni Alana at 'yon ay mahalin din siya ng lalaking kaniyang minahal noon pa man at iyon ay si Knight. Hiniling niya sa kaniyang mga magulang na maikasal siya sa binata na sa huli naman ay naisakatuparan din. Ngunit ang akala niya na matututunan din siyang mahalin ay hindi pala bagkus naging bangungot ito na malayo sa kaniyang pinangarap. Matitiis niya ba ang ilang taon ang knailang pagsasama kung gayon ay ni hindi naman siya itinuturing bilang asawa at kahit na pagkababae niya ay dinudurakan na? O sa huli ay makikita niya ang kaniyang kahalagahan dahil sa isang tao na hindi niya aakalaing tutulong at aahon sa kaniya na kalaunan ay nakita na lamang niya ang sarili na nasa bisig nito. Tama nga ba ang kaniyang naging desisyon o kailangan niya lamang na bigyan ulit ng isa pang pagkakataon si Knight? Sino nga ba sa dalawa ang pipiliin niya sa huli? Pinagtagpo nga lang ba talaga at hindi itinadhana?
