   Summary

   Two years ago, at a club in New York City, two strangers shared a night together. Their judgements were clouded by alcohol, and both tried to ignore it after it was over. Time has faded them from one another's minds, but nothing can fully erase what happened that night.

   When Bryce joins season 8 of Love Island, he is struck by just how much his cast member, Zach, reminds him of the man from that night.

   The memory that lives in Bryce's mind due to his struggles with his identity and sexuality. Something that he tried so desperately to forget is now brought to the forefront like a wound that never really healed, and on a dating show of all places.
