Especially not when those second chances come in the form of Noah Rivers. Noah, once the golden boy of their high school, returns home unexpectedly to care for his ailing father.

Between his father's decline, a toxic breakup he hasn't told anyone about, and a secret battle with insomnia and depression, Noah is only barely holding on.
