After the worst Christmas Casey has had in years, the urge to go home overwhelms. Standing in front of the house he grew up in on a bleak New Year's Eve, he acknowledges that what he once thought of as home is gone. Filled with despair, he sees that his life is a barren wasteland and he has no energy or hope left with which to change it.
When a man exits the rundown house, his long legged stride carries ghosts of the past right into Casey's present. Never had he imagined that he'd run into the man he'd lost a lifetime before or that the man would own the house that had always been a symbol of home to Casey. But Paul is there and he's never forgotten the love they shared so briefly. Casey's New Year's quest to find reasons for his existence becomes a homecoming he never expected when Paul opens his heart. It's only then that Casey discovers the answers to life are as simple as finding your heart.
