Deep in the dark, I don't need the light...

Kyle Layden has become used to the rumors that hover around him. The inescapable lies surround him, numerous and ever-present. His bad-boy reputation keeps most people away, but even that can never fully protect him from the hell of his past and the struggles of his present.

Collin Reech is the openly gay boy who is bullied at school and abused at home. With nothing to ease his struggles, he can't imagine things ever getting better, only worse.

What happens when their two troubled paths cross? Will things finally start to lift up for both of them, or will it all come crashing down in a tumbling mess?

Lucas Vargas vehemently denies being gay, but finds he can't deny Charlie Grayson what he wants whenever he comes over.
