A man with gynophobia unknowingly receives therapy from the ex-wife he divorced.
Chase Hopkins seeks treatment for a paralyzing fear of women, landing in the care of Dr. Kate Collins. He dismisses her as a forgotten one-night stand, never suspecting she is the wife he left after believing she betrayed him. Kate maintains the ruse out of guilt, guiding his recovery while hiding their marriage. As sessions progress, professional boundaries erode into a fragile intimacy that threatens to shatter the moment Chase connects the patient history she conceals to the past he has erased.
