Growing concerned, she shows up at his house and discovers that Wallace has fallen into a deep depression. Not only that, she realizes this isn't the first time it's happened and that he might be suffering from manic depression or bipolar disorder. Despite this struggle, their love remains strong, and she's determined to stand by him. As their relationship progresses, however, dark secrets are revealed about Wallace and his family, and Gen's love for him is put to the ultimate test.
