When Jesse Clarke's mother overdoses, his world comes crashing down.
He's moved out of the blue to Arizona, living with a father he's never met and completely content with loneliness. That is, until he sparks up an unexpected friendship with Tomás Escamilla-Bloom, of big words and wild outfits, putting his own pieces back together after a severe medical emergency. But as their bond intensifies, so does Jesse's addiction to painkillers, and soon both he and Tomás need to learn what it might really mean to heal--and they each have to wonder if they've got what it takes.
