DISCONTINUED Six months has passed since Alec Lightwood was sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit. Everyone thinks he shot and killed his partner and younger brother, Jace Wayland. But he didn't. It was the man he, Jace and their con man consultant Magnus Bane had been tracking down. Valentine Morgenstern. Now in prison, Alec has to survive both behind bars and out amongst his fellow prisoners. Sentenced to the death penalty, Alec awaits his sentence while trying to survive amongst the rest of the prisoners, some of which have done much more than kill a cop to be put behind bars. While he waits for his death sentence, Magnus Bane comes to Alec's rescue one day and unexpectedly breaks him out with the help of a few friends. Now they're both on the run from the law as the law tracks them down. It's a race against time as they both try to clear Alec's name from the heinous crime he didn't even commit.

Alec is a shy, quiet kind of guy who lands a job as the personal chef for the CEO of one of the most popular record companies in all of New York. This CEO seems like he's on top of the world in the eyes of the media, but deep down, he's a scarred man, with many skeletons in his closet who only wants to find someone to love, and be loved in return.
