Art graduate Jade O'Connor is on a mission. She needs an intricate tattoo—something elegant and beautiful—to cover her perceived imperfections. Her search for the right artist brings her to a Hawke's Bay tattoo studio and the surprising discovery that her crush from eight years ago owns it.

Quiet, confident tattoo artist Taylor King is proud of her business and the life she's built for herself. When Jade walks into her store, a spark ignites that goes beyond skin deep.

As the women get swept up in each other, disaster strikes. Can Jade and Taylor's newfound relationship survive the pressure of being forced into each other's space? Is it all too much? Or is it true there are some things you can only learn in the darkness of a storm?
