Ivy and Scarlett have been a couple for the last five years. Their love for each other is too strong to keep it a secret. In a small town, telling someone "I'm gay" is like an apology, and living as a lesbian is like wearing the scarlet letter "L" on your chest. The secret has kept Scarlett living a false life under the pretense of Ivy's "long-term roommate." They just bought a house together and it's urged Scarlett to come out to everyone she knows regardless of the consequences, to be brave like her lover, Ivy. Scarlett has everything to lose: her friends, her family, her job, and her church... but as long as Scarlett has Ivy, they'll never be alone.
