In the wake of a bad call, firefighter Eddie Diaz realizes the extent to which he has failed as a husband. In a desperate attempt to save his relationship with his husband, Buck, Eddie turns to "The Love Dare," a Christian self-help book recommended by his abuela. At her prompting, and guided by the book itself, Eddie embarks on a 40-day mission to rescue his marriage from the looming specter of divorce.
Author's Note: While this is based off of Kirk Cameron's Fireproof, I should state for the record that the majority of the religious themes from the movie will be omitted, aside from a few references here and there, and the only true similarities are the story, and the fact that the main character's a firefighter.
Also, all rights to the 911 characters go to Fox, and well all affiliations with Fireproof go to the rightful owner.
This is a complete work of fiction.
Evan "Buck" Buckley thought bringing a baby into his marriage with Tommy would fix everything that was already broken. Edmondo "Eddie" Diaz thought becoming a surrogate was the only way to keep his son Christopher's therapy going after bills piled too high.
Neither of them expected fate to tie them together.
What starts as a signed contract quickly unravels into something far more complicated: secrets exposed, friendships tested, and a courtroom battle that forces Buck to face the truth: his marriage isn't real, but the family he's building with Eddie just might be.
Through heartbreak and hope, stolen moments and undeniable love, Buck and Eddie find themselves at the edge of something new.
Because sometimes the end of one chapter isn't the end at all, it's Our Beginning.
