Summary
If Tommy could describe himself as anything he’d say he was desperate.
He had lived in The Refuge since he was 8 years old and a chance at freedom was something he’d go to the end of the world for. So, when he was 16 and offered the opportunity of freedom in exchange for completing a task for The Warden he, of course, said yes.
Or Tommy Boy grew up in the Refuge and has to figure out the ways of the world outside while still trying to appease Snyder.

Summary
As World War II slowly approaches, David Jacobs comes across the woman who ruined his reputation and his love life. But as his time comes to an end, in order to let go of his past, Jacobs intends to burn the letters his husband wrote him during their youth. Yet, with this woman in his house, he couldn't bring himself to it. Preserving every moment of Kelly's life, Jacobs--the last of the Manhattan Newsies--relives through an era he never told anyone. Not even to his husband. Now, as this woman enters Kelly's studio, she surrenders a pair of keys to that particular studio and walks away. Leaving David Jacobs alone and cold once again. With only minutes waiting, David Jacobs becomes the center of Kelly's life. With a candle in front of him, Jacobs is willing to do anything to preserve his husband's legacy. Even if it meant to forgive the unforgivable.
