   Summary

   Michael Clifford's life is at absolute rock-bottom. He's an aspiring musician whose life and career in LA imploded after a public betrayal by his ex-fiancée.

   Luke Hemmings is the undisputed star dancer at the West Hollywood upscale gay strip club where Michael finds work as a bartender. He's handsome, confident and seemingly unreachable.

   Their lives collide in an unexpected way when miscommunication, digital secrets and a persistent stalker force them to drop their masks and find a way to truly connect with each other.
