   Summary

   After the events of UNESCO, Ryland Grace is unmoored. He has no idea what he's doing with his life, and his boyfriend of five years, Tom Ryder, is on a fast upward trajectory towards fame. Ryland finds himself unable to cope, so he turns to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain. It all comes to a head one night after a particularly bad trip.
