But with their friends paired off, they're left alone more and more. Rose is determined to keep him friend-zoned.

My entire life has been unmasked. Everything I thought to be true has been called into question. Whom do I trust? What do I believe? With two men promising to keep me safe and one promising to give me my life back, which path do I choose? Masked or unmasked?
