After Matt's “perfect” life comes crashing down around him and the man he plans to marry leaves him, he has it in his mind he's going to make an escape, take an adventure up to New England and get away on the open seas with the big brother with whom he needs to reconnect after too many years apart. He plans to spend months away from home, clearing his mind and experiencing a different way of life, but undying feelings and a catastrophe with Luke, his lifelong best friend, causes him to go running back home, only to be met with the ignorance and hatred of the people dearest to Luke.
Will an old love be the key to unlocking Matt's heart and sending him on the right path, or do some secrets and feelings need to remain locked away for the comfort and security of everyone involved?
