Can he learn to trust a stranger when all he's known is pain?
Eli might have escaped the conversion camp with his life, but now he's trapped inside his own head. Eli and his brother, Mia, are left to fend for themselves in a world that does not accept them. With no other choice, the two are forced to live in an abandoned warehouse.
Plagued by the complications of PTSD, finding a job isn't easy for Eli. He knows they've struck bottom when Mia turns to prostitution, and the guilt is eating him alive. This isn't the way their freedom was supposed to work. Hopelessness threatens to consume Eli, until he meets someone who offers to help.
Dr. Alex Howard comes across Eli suffering a major panic attack in the bathroom at an event in the hospital. Frustrated at his colleague's lazy treatment of the young man, Alex is convinced Eli needs a friend. He sets out to help boost the younger man's confidence, and to help him heal.
He doesn't expect to develop feelings for Eli, and though he's technically not crossing any boundaries, Alex is hesitant to act on his attraction.
Will Eli be able to move beyond his past? And can the two find romance in the process?
