The things that matter the most are often the hardest things to hold on to. When duty, love, and honor collide, only the brave will survive. Jason “Clint” McClintock and Eric Look have been best friends since seventh grade. Eric’s neat, well-ordered world is forever turned upside down by Clint’s antics and the boys become inseparable. Despite Clint’s talent for finding trouble and his ambivalence about his future, Eric never gives up on him. Compensating for Clint’s self-destructive behavior, Eric helps Clint to deal with his demons and carve out a different path for himself through Army ROTC. Just when it looks like the two boys are about to step out into a bright new future, a drunken brawl in a bar changes everything, including their relationship. The fires of turmoil spark something new between the men and their passion threatens to consume them both. Is Clint strong enough to protect the one he loves from the darkness and violence of his life? Is he mature enough to put Eric’s needs first, the way that Eric did for him for so many years? Will Eric trust Clint to be the man he needs when it counts the most? Somehow they must find a way to forge a love that won’t be broken by the test of time, separation or violence. When friends turn into lovers, lovers turn into enemies and family turns deadly, how do you hold on to the love that matters most?
