Summary
After a reckless action leads to the fall out of Mike and Will's friendship, they haven't spoken in years.
Will has built a stable, yet unfulfilling life in New York with his boyfriend, when he finally gets an out; a job offer for an art teaching position in Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Will, Mike is living in the very city he is about to move to, teaching at the same school, whilst raising his five-year-old daughter alone.

Summary
Will could still feel it. The storm. Feel the way it moved, fast and endless and alive, spreading through everything; through him. Black clouds twisting in impossible shapes, something enormous shifting inside them.
He jerked upright with a gasp and the room slammed back into place around him.
The dorm he shared with Mike. The single beds they’d pushed together to make one. The faint glow of the lamp on the other side of the room – always left on for Will. The low, distant hum of the city outside.
New York. 1992.
Not there.
But the feeling didn’t leave. It clung to him, cold and heavy.
The lamp flickered.
He froze.

Summary
Being away at college is easier than Will expected in some ways, and harder in all the others. As old wounds from the past resurface and familiar routines fall into place, Mike becomes the person he keeps turning to without meaning to.
It's probably nothing.
Until the lines between friendship start to look a little blurred.
