It's been nine years since Ellie was officially adopted by Dan and Phil and three years since she moved to Winston-Salem, North Carolina in order to attend the University Of North Carolina School Of The Arts as an undergraduate piano student. While she's found it difficult to live so far away from home and her dads at times, she wouldn't change the last two years of her life for anything in the entire world since her love for playing the piano and singing has really grown.
Meanwhile, it has been two years since Lucas, a twenty-one-year-old native of Winston-Salem, a UNCSA student majoring in cinematography, and Ellie's boyfriend of nearly the same amount of time almost, almost succeeding in leaving the world behind. Well, more like it's been two years since his first attempt. Since then, he has harbored a dark secret from that fateful day, a secret that he keeps closely hidden for fear of being judged.

As Christmas break draws near for the students at UNCSA, Ellie decides that she wants to return home for the holidays and surprise her parents by not telling them that she planned on coming home. Much to Lucas's dismay, she won't be returning home alone. Instead, she'll be taking him home with her so that he can meet her dads, something that he's been fearing and dreading ever since he and Ellie got together.
What will happen when Ellie returns home after being gone for two years? And how will Dan and Phil react when they meet Lucas?
