Si Helms is rebuilding his life after spending more years than he can count high. But after getting out of jail and attending NA meetings, Si finds a way to become a man of which he can be proud. He receives help from his sponsor, Kip, but when the man disappears without warning, Si worries Kip might have slipped back into old habits.
Then he spies Kip's handsome face on a movie poster, and is shocked to discover his NA sponsor is none other than Kipper James, former child star trying to make a comeback.
Kip doesn't plan to backslide into the drugs that almost ruined his life. He fought hard to be able to star in movies again. But while he's in Chicago for the premiere of his first film in years, he plans on locating Si.
There's a connection between the two men that has nothing to do with drugs, and Kip yearns to see if their relationship can become more than just friendship.
