    Summary

    After the events on the roof in Vegas, Shane finds himself wandering the streets and ends up at a bar where he later becomes the victim of sexual assault.

    "Something is wrong with Shane Hollander.

    He no longer returns Ilya’s texts, not even to tell him to fuck off. Over the summer, Ilya thinks this is about Vegas. Thinks maybe he somehow pushed Hollander too far that night. The look on Shane’s face was anger, but Ilya had seen the terror below it too. He understood that terror.

    It’s the pre-season when Ilya realizes something else is going on. The charming, bright-eyed golden boy is no longer present in interviews. Hollander answers questions like he’s a wooden man reading from a book. No fire, no passion, no personality, no smile. He is a dense brick. The light of him has gone out and Ilya clocks is immediately."

    This will follow Shane's path of recovery from unimaginable violence through his eyes, Ilya's eyes, and those of close friends and family.
