   Summary

   Ilya Rozanov was an assassin in the Russian mob since he was 16 years old, one day an operation went dangerously wrong and Ilya escaped in the night with his best friend Svetlana to start a new life in Montreal, Canada.

   Shane Hollander was once a promising young hockey player when an injury forced him into early retirement. After a few years of self loathing, he and his best friend Hayden invested in a small cafe they run together with a group of friends.

   The most unlikely of people come together and the result is pure love and adoration.

   The only question is.. Can two men with such tragic pasts live happily ever after?
