Lucy Standish is a comedian who loves making fun of people on stage while having a day-time job as a talented IT. But deep down she's a troubled young woman, afraid to fall in love. Why? Why is she building up so many walls around her and why wouldn't she give out her phone number to guys asking her out? Is it because of her snobbish mother and estranged father? Or maybe her older brother who left their family home in Nebraska out of nowhere and nobody knows where he lives? Lucy needs no other friends but a couple of reliable boys named Frodo and Samwise. They make her happy enough and she's not interested in any other guy. And they're adorably fluffy. One day though she meets Max Miller and her whole world turns upside down. Why isn't he like any other man? And what is it about him that makes her feel so nervous? Should she let him in? He makes her feel special, right? Yes, but...something is stopping her from getting to know him better. Because there are things from the past, badly eating her soul. Lucy will have to face her darkest secrets if she wants to find her way back to freedom and true love...
