Two voices. One song. A bartender and a musician, both chasing for something more, hoping to find common ground. One had faced backlash, trauma, and pain for trying to protect the personal song of someone he loved. The other kept writing lyrics, hoping for recognition, even if most of them ended up crumpled in the trash. One night, Sonic heard the city's grumpiest, loneliest bartender, Shadow, sing, and it sparked something in him. Hope, inspiration, and a new dream. Shadow agreed to help Sonic write music, even if it meant confronting his old past, and the very reason he moved to the city and changed himself in the first place. Will Sonic be the one to help Shadow confront his hardships and overcome the weight of it all so they can reignite the passion they both truly love? WARNING: 16+ themes, intimate scenes, drinking, and abuse.

Three years following the strange meeting with Sonic's piano student, Sonic has settled into life in Banff. Familiar faces has emerged, and the weather is more consistent. What else could he ask for? The blue pianist competes in a prestigious music competition, but is challenged by an equally talented violinist. As the two form an unlikely duo, Sonic soon discovers a horrifying secret beneath all that beauty; a fanged hedgehog thirsting for crimson nectar.
