Abby Abernathy is a hardworking individual who abstains from drinking and swearing. She believes she has put enough distance between herself and her troubled past. However, her dreams of a fresh start at college are quickly derailed when she encounters the enigmatic and captivating Travis Maddox.

Travis is a notorious college Lothario known for his handsome appearance, muscular build, and extensive tattoos. He spends his nights participating in a floating fight club, where he earns money through illegal fights. On the other hand, his days are filled with seducing women and enjoying his reputation as a player.

Despite Abby's initial resistance to Travis's charms, he manages to win her over with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain celibate for a month. If Abby loses, she must move into Travis's apartment for the same duration. The stakes are high, and both parties are unaware of the intense and obsessive relationship that is about to unfold.

As Travis and Abby's relationship deepens, they embark on a journey of passion, danger, and addiction.

In the end, Travis and Abby's relationship reaches a breaking point. Travis's obsession becomes too much for Abby to handle, and she decides to end their relationship.
