Pipe: In every man's life there comes a day of reckoning. It's the day darkness is exposed and sinners are punished for their trespasses. A day when loyalty is destroyed and a man is left in ruins. When he walks away from his club and loses his religion. Whoever said from the ruins they will rise again never walked a mile in my shoes or the pair of red ones I was left holding. Layla: He's bitter, cold and angry. He's seen his share of heartache. Lived through tragedy and despair. He's my neighbor. The man I know should stay away from. The man who will destroy what's left of me if I get too close. He's Lee Jameson, and I'm Layla Milano. This is our story. The story of two people left in ruins forced to rise again.
