She said yes to everything.
Until she didn't.
Jess has a good life.
A stable relationship.
A promotion on the table.
A wedding weeks away.
Everything is exactly how it's supposed to be.
So why does it feel wrong?
It starts with something small.
A single no.
A missed dinner.
A decision she doesn't explain.
Then another.
And another.
At the same time, a stranger's messages begin appearing on her phone-
confessions, doubts, second chances.
A life that looks nothing like hers...
and yet feels uncomfortably familiar.
As the lines blur between expectation and truth, Jess is forced to confront the one thing she's avoided for years:
What if the life she's built
was never really hers?
Now, with everything on the line-
her relationship, her future, her identity-
Jess has to decide:
Keep pretending...
or finally tell the truth.
Even if it breaks everything.
