Mark and Adam were supposed to be together forever.

After nearly 20 years, it seemed nothing could stand in their way. But when their world was upended by a death in the family, a mental health crisis, and a failed adoption all in one year, they reached their breaking point. Adam wanted space. Now faced with life apart, they must conquer their own challenges to see if they can find their way back to each other. 

English professor Adam turns to alcohol to cope. He quickly finds himself embroiled in a downward spiral that will force him to confront harsh truths about himself and face his estranged family. Did he make a mistake when he walked away? And when he hits rock bottom, can he claw his way back and rebuild the bridges he’s burned?

Former attorney Mark is caught in the vice of a new OCD diagnosis and fighting to find the proper balance of treatment in hopes of reclaiming his old life. But when he meets Grayson, the charming owner of the diner up the road who sympathizes with his mental health ordeal in a way Adam didn’t, will he still want it back? Or will he choose a new beginning?
