But upon meeting Joshua Aragon Villafuerte, the donor, all her senses tell her this handsome, rich boy is more than what he is. Joshua grew up never knowing what a mother's love was.

And whatever truth comes out of their predicament, they can't deny that they need each other to get pass their demons.
