June 25th, 2009: His death was only the beginning. An entity centuries old offers Michael a choice in the fleeting moments between life and oblivion: disappear forever, or awaken to the life he once knew. One decision changes everything. He must learn to control his new nature as he struggles with the memories of his former life, fleeting moments with a family he can no longer truly be apart of, and trying to remain hidden in the shadows of the harsh spotlight that has always been too bright. 17 years later, centuries of loneliness seem inevitable until a chance encounter changes everything. Michael meets someone who sees beyond the myths, the headlines, and the immortal facade he has carefully constructed. Their growing connection challenges the vows he made to remain hidden, forcing him to choose between protecting the one person who makes him feel alive again and preserving the secrecy that has kept him safe for years.
