Sky and Evie have been best friends for a decade; they know more about each other than they probably should. Evie is vibrant and energetic. Sky is a devoted friend, and maybe a bit full of himself, but you certainly didn’t hear that from Evie.
But after Sky’s 22nd birthday party, when things begin to change, the two men realize there is a lot more to a person than what they let you perceive. Each keeps one thing close to their heart, unwilling to reveal their shame completely.
How do they handle not knowing each other fully? What happens when friendship shifts into interest, lust, and deceit?
Can either of them truly survive stepping into striking range?
