Summary
Harry has been stealing apples for weeks from Louis' farm. When someone calls the cops, Louis frantically intervenes, sparing the handsome stranger a night in jail. He doesn't know that he's actually saved Harry from a much more sinister fate.
Grateful towards his host for providing a hot meal and a shower, Harry tries to figure out if his savior is into him, before he gives Louis horrific details about the nightmare-place he'd escaped from.
After learning what Harry has been through, Louis invites him to stay with him, while Harry plans his next moves.
Being conscious of Harry's history, Louis must navigate the complexities of their undeniable attraction to each other, uncertain what kind of relationship Harry is realistically ready for.
With nothing to do besides get to know each other, Harry learns about Louis' own dark past, and why it keeps him locked away at home on his father's farm.
When people come looking for Harry, his past catches up with him in a way that forces an anxious, reclusive Louis into action.
Will Louis be able to face his fears, and save Harry for a second time?
