Riley's not the scared, weak boy of years ago.

Strong, handsome, wealthy, and successful, he should be happy, but he's not. He's still tormented by the memory of the bullies of his school years, the cruelty he was subjected to. There's only one way to silence those reverberating memories, and that's revenge.

But while seeking it, he finds peace in the small village where he befriends Zac, the cake maker. Zac's the first friend Riley's had in decades, boyish and fun and, without a doubt, sweet. Feelings grow toward the cake maker, but his need for revenge still hovers in his mind.

When he discovers Zac secret, he wonders if revenge is really worth it with Zac in the crossfire.
