Hunter Jones is 16, male, gay, and depressed.
Hunter has been best friends with Parker Evans since they were 7. The two boys have taken in the world together, and can't imagine it any other way. Parker is unaware of Hunter's struggles, and Hunter doesn't know how much longer he can take the world he's been given. Both boys begin their own separate lives, strongly intertwined and braided together. One where it's all or nothing.
Hunter finds himself in a way he never thought possible. A way that to everyone else seems terrifying and twisted, but to Hunter, it gives control and clarity. Can he admit his struggles to himself and his best friend?
Parker has always been Hunter's co-pilot. His best friend, his rock, his security. Parker doesn't know the severity of his best friends situation, or even his situation at all. Parker finds new feelings, and a new story, all wrapped up in helping Hunter. Will Parker realize his feelings in time?
The 2 boys find themselves launched onto a new path neither one of them thought would happen those many years ago, when they first met. A path of heartache, sorrow, yearning, and an explosion of new feelings, memories, and beginnings. Will they survive their own stories together? Or will it end up as a tragic, storybook ending?

River has been a mental health advocate for three years. With his own demons battled, he takes it upon himself to support others. More specifically strangers. He has always found peace in helping those who suffer in silence.
When River is approached by a man who expresses his depressive tendencies, he decides to take the broken stranger for coffee, out of fear of what might happen if he lets him go. River tells him to offload, release all the sadness and frustration he has into someone who knows nothing about him.
But when he leaves, River can't stop thinking about him.
It's not until Alex comes back a few months later to thank him for listening when he needed help the most.
Alex has a lot to thank for his signs from the universe.
