At night, Jake Kelley knows how to use his good looks, dark blond hair, and quick wit to get what he wants. And what he wanted that night was Busy, a clever and enigmatic man at the same local gay bar. And the chance hookup leaves Jake with a fever, then chills. But as Busy dies from this new disease, Jake somehow recovers.

Jake wants to believe it's not all related. That the conspiracy theories were full of crap spread by a bunch of drunk queens.

But when Jake gets too close to the truth, it just might kill him.
