Conner Mitchell lives a picture-perfect lie. To the world, he’s a wealthy success story with the ideal girlfriend and a bright future. But beneath the surface, he’s a man at war with himself. The one night he spent with Kai all those years ago haunts him, dragging him back to the town he swore he’d never return to.

As eerie incidents plague Kai’s home, Conner steps in, reigniting a connection neither can ignore. But can Kai trust the man who once broke his heart, and will Conner finally have the courage to embrace the truth?
