Some love teach us to hide. Others show us how to be seen. Symphony has spent years loving in the shadows, silencing her truth for someone too afraid to love her out loud.

What she doesn't expect is True, a guarded student with secrets of his own, and eyes that seem to really see her. In a world that's always asked her to be quiet, Bare is a story about choosing yourself, healing in community, and the slow, brave journey toward a love that doesn't flinch.

But this wasn't a perfect world and Romeo's reality couldn't be further from that fantasy. The oldest of 2, Romeo has lived a life that many could only imagine in their worse nightmares. Born 'n raised to Jamaican immigrants from a very young age Ro learned he was all he had. Parents led astray, snatched away by the fast life Romeo put himself through school, scrapping up anything he could manage to survive on the ruthless streets. Turning to desperate means to provide for himself as well as his baby sister. Life had been more than unkind to Romeo yet he continued on hoping one day it would finally grant him the blessing he'd been waiting for his whole life. And it had, even if it was only for a little while. Recently widowed, 25 year old Damario Leone is restless.

Wounds of his love still fresh Damario had no intention nor interest in finding anyone else. His heart simply couldn't fathom it.

Playing the cards he was dealt, he grows, like a rose through concrete- with help of course. Harlem Santino, a 20 year old with dreams higher than he can reach. Harlem had always been amazing in sports, you name it- football, soccer, baseball, but basketball owned his heart. It was his passion, what kept the light shining bright in his big brown eyes. With a once in a lifetime opportunity with a full basketball scholarship to GSU Harlem would have been stupid to turn it down. However life had a twisted and fucked up way of making good people hurt. When his mother and only living family member is diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer Harlem is forced to touch bases with old connects and pick up a not so safe side hustle. All while balancing his sport management degree and his grilling basketball requirements. Seemingly both alone in their own ways, who knew that an old hardly in use skating rink, a few joints, and good old r&b story telling would bring two drowning souls together and make life seem all the more bearable.
