Story
Louna Lloris, a talented mixed martial arts fighter, witnesses a dramatic accident in which she rescues the young driver, Nico Dardenne, from the burning vehicle at the last moment. Impressed by his fearless lifesaver, millionaire heir Nico persuades Louna to work for him as a bodyguard. At Nico’s side, she gets to know the world of the rich and beautiful beyond the seemingly insurmountable ‘crystal wall’ that stands between her and Nico’s lives. But the abysses and threats that lurk there are not long in coming. Inevitably, Louna and Nico grow closer, but it’s not just his world that is full of secrets, as Louna and his family share a sad fate…
