Everything is going fine for Braylen and Sammy. They moved into an apartment together, they both continue their college studies, and all the while working part time jobs.

There's one thing they never tell you in the books and the films and the television shows - just how bad the hunger gets. The craving is worse than a person could ever imagine and there's no warning for that. Have you ever experienced feeling so empty that even a lifetime supply of food wouldn't scratch the surface? That's how bad it can be. But Braylen had no idea. Why would he? He never envisioned that his life would take this turn, but it did, and this is his story.

Friends from childhood, Samuel Blaze Villareal and Braylen Franklin have been through a lot together. When Sammy B confesses his attraction to Braylen, the redheaded teen claims that he doesn't feel the same way. But what happens when a beautiful stranger enters Sammy's life? Will this finally be what it takes for Braylen to realise how he really feels?
