John & Luke have returned to their own schools, both anxious to get back together again at Christmas. Talking constantly on the phone and through the computer, they can barely wait to see each other and satisfy their pent up passion of being apart for a month. But when Luke abruptly goes "silent" just before they are about to head home for Christmas, John is confused and worried. Unable to contact Luke at all, John is hopeful all will be explained once he gets home and can talk to Luke face to face. Except - Luke isn't there waiting for him, and John is consumed in a whirlwind of doubt that quickly escalates into a storm of heartache and fear.
