Nicole suffered severe torture at the hands of her kidnapper in the past and though she escaped with her life, she's still having nightmares about it, and they are getting worse.
Adam, her father's godson and a good friend from a while back, appeared to check on her, only to encounter some problems...
First, Nicole has turned into a fully grown beautiful woman and he didn't know how to fight the powerful draw to her.
Second, Nicole didn't seem to care about his excuses, and this shouldn't be a problem, really... but
Third, her kidnapper is still at large, and he can finish what he had meant to do kill Nicole before she can identify him. So Adam can't be distracted.
