Amos thrives on routine and quiet, so being forced to temporarily move in with his brother Jayvion and Jayvion's girlfriend, Kiree, pushes him far outside his comfort zone. Adjusting to a shared space and new dynamics isn't easy for him. Things become even more complicated when Kiree invites her foster brother Kyson to stay. Fresh out of prison and carrying his own baggage, Kyson is someone Amos never expected to connect with. Yet an instant bond forms, and Kyson quickly becomes a source of comfort and understanding. As their connection grows, Amos knows there are things he isn't ready to share.
