This animosity persists for two years until a brutal heatwave disables the air conditioning. Trapped alone in a house that is far too hot and far too small, the siblings are forced into close proximity. While Samir works to repair the broken unit, the lingering resentment between them begins to dissolve into lingering touches. The boundary separating their hatred from their desire starts to fade. Becca is compelled to confront a truth she has ignored for years. The man she considers forbidden to want reveals himself as the only person she cannot resist.
