"The story centers on Angel (Abigail Cowen of "I Still Believe") who was sold into prostitution as a child. She has survived through hatred and self-loathing, until she meets Michael Hosea (Tom Lewis of "Gentlemen Jack") and discovers there is no brokenness that love can't heal.

"While many are victims of horrible circumstances that will haunt them forever, some characters are able to overcome the pain, the sorrow and the brutality to discover how remarkable they truly are," Caruso told Deadline. "Angel's journey reminds us that healing happens through love and acceptance, never through judgment or force."
