Zayn Cunning has almost given up on love. At first glance, he seems the epitome of a playboy: golden blond hair, bright green eyes, and a toned body that could have come straight out of a superhero movie. His attractive appearance regularly creates false expectations – yet deep down, he longs only for a woman with whom he can spend his life. Nevertheless, his macho side still shows from time to time, especially when the topic of love makes him feel insecure. Instead of talking about his feelings, he often covers up his uncertainty with suggestive jokes or a confident facade. Accepting sincere affection is hard for him, because closeness was never something he took for granted. His past has left deep scars. Shortly after his birth, his mother was raped and subsequently murdered by two men. She was never part of his life, yet her fate accompanies him every single day. The void she left behind still shapes him to this day. In love, too, fate never seemed to be on his side. His relationships either failed because they never had the potential for anything serious, or because his partners eventually despaired at his emotional walls and ultimately cheated on him. Yet Zayn is not a bad person – quite the opposite. He always tries to do the right thing and be there for others. But his past and the demons he carries with him keep getting in his way. Right now, his thoughts revolve around only one thing: the two men who took his mother's life are about to be released from prison. For years, Zayn has been making plans to bring them to justice. The desire for justice has long since become an obsession – and it is only a matter of time until the past and the present inevitably collide.
