Ric Costanza and Connor Ferguson grew up together, friends all the way through high school - until Ric pushed Connor away when they were both sixteen. Self-preservation is a very strong force indeed.

Connor had his own theory as to why it happened…

When they meet up eight years later, a lot of water has passed under the bridge. Ric is about to enter the priesthood and Connor is engaged to Keira. Except all is not as it seems. Ric is a mess, and Connor wants to help.

What starts out as a simple offer to provide a shoulder for a former best friend becomes more than both men bargained for.
