Lucas Vargas vehemently denies being gay, but finds he can't deny Charlie Grayson what he wants whenever he comes over. The problem with their arrangement is that it doesn't feel like two friends using one another to get off; it feels suspiciously like love. As Lucas gets to know Charlie in more intimate ways, he feels his emotions spiral out of control. There's something different about eclectic Charlie, something that Lucas is undeniably attracted to. Below the surface of their arrangement a darker secret lurks, one not visible to the naked eye and long forgotten. In an attempt to reconcile his confusing sexuality, his loneliness, and his growing love, Lucas tries to find ways to keep Charlie close by. In a small town where rumors run rampant, the boys keep their intense intimacy a secret. When the girl next door threatens to upheave everything him and Charlie have built together, his old friends's backlash against his friendship with Charlie becomes more severe, and the frequent bruises on Charlie's body begin to paint a picture too horrible and disturbing to imagine, Lucas is faced with a difficult choice.

Death is a reoccurrence and life is but a toy. Throw yourself into death and you will simply regenerate- a phenomenon known as the 'Relapse'. People take advantage of this so-called power by killing themselves in the most bizarre ways, opposing the beliefs of a certain group of people - The Restorationists. The Restorationists believe that God, in his wrath, might one day remove the power of the Relapse from the world if people continue to kill themselves for pleasure, a warning that is not adhered to by the rest of the world in the name of amusement. Until the day the Relapse is removed. The world goes into a frenzy and life is thrown into absolute chaos. Through the haze of chaos rises a newer generation of Restorationists responsible for the catastrophe, determined to lead a monarchy under the ideologies of the original Restorationists, which are all but peaceful. Trapped in this dystopian world of havoc and mayhem, seventeen-year-old Xander Adgar enlists his resilient friends, as they fight to re-obtain the power of the Relapse, discover the truth behind it, rebel against the Restorationists and learn the meaning behind life. **This story contains incredibly graphic depictions of violence, murder and suicide and can be triggering.
