A fire three years ago tore childhood sweethearts Liam and Mia apart. To win an Ivy League scholarship, psychology major Mia studies Liam—a soccer star with severe PTSD—as her subject. Accidentally, she triggers a "mutual yearning" mechanism and enters his subconscious dreams. In reality, Liam is cold and cruel to her, but in dreams, he's a desperate beast craving her touch. He had saved her from the fire, leaving himself disabled, and pushed her away out of guilt. Mia decides to heal him in both worlds. However, Frank, who loves Mia, exposes her research report. Believing he's just a lab rat, Liam collapses and locks her out of his dreams. During the national championship final, Liam hallucinates and is near death. Mia rushes onto the field and kisses him, reigniting his soul. In the end, they save each other and rise together.
