Ivy's boyfriend, Mark, is deployed to Afghanistan for 2 years. He was the sweetest guy she'd ever met and was deeply and she was truly in love with him. Finally her knight in shining armor comes back home, but not all fairy tales are sweet. Mark is very different. He is angry, loud, drinks all the time, and worst of all -- abusive. Ivy is so blindly in love with Mark she can't see that she is throwing her life away. Can she be saved or will she end up drowning?
