Two fierce spirits battling an overwhelming passion, a desire that threatens to destroy or save them both. Ram tries desperately to resist the one hundred or so pounds of trouble, while Joy’s innocence teases and tempts him into madness, until one night of deception Joy’s innocence is presented in a different light…3.
