Daredevil drifter Lawrence Crawford is hunting for a place to call home. After ten years of looking, he believes he's found what he's been searching for. With a job that pays the bills and a small group of friends he's opening up to, he lets down his guard. Perhaps too much so. Finding himself in need of support, Lawrence is forced to accept help from the one man who's been driving him to distraction for the past year. His landlord. Former cop Billy Hilton made a mistake-admittedly there've been many over the years. The latest is when he lets Lawrence believe he isn't interested in pursuing anything with him. It's not even the age difference or the fact the guy lives in Billy's studio apartment that's the problem. Instead, it's all him. When Billy offers to play nursemaid to Lawrence, his intentions may not be pure, but they're honest. And that honesty blows their lives wide open when Lawrence's past comes knocking on the door, demanding changes and threatening an upheaval neither man may ever recover from.
