After dying in a crash, Mara returns to the days before her wedding and chooses freedom over a toxic engagement.
Episode 1–6English
Mara Whitmore devoted eight years to shaping herself into the ideal partner for Gideon Hawthorne, only to discover at a family gathering that her father had a secret daughter, Delaney, and that Gideon insisted she defer to the newcomer. Overwhelmed, Mara fled the event and died in a car accident, then woke up in the past before the ceremony.
Given a fresh start, she refuses to seek her father's approval or Gideon's ring, exposes Delaney's mother Lorraine early, secures a London study program, and rebuffs Gideon's attempts to manage her life. Delaney counters with staged accidents that publicly shame Mara, while Gideon dismisses her independence as childish defiance.
