In the near future, humankind has mastered the arts of peace, tolerance, and acceptance. At least, that's what we claim. But then they arrive. Aliens--the last of a dead race. Suffering culture shock of the worst kind, they must take refuge on a world they cannot understand; one which cannot comprehend the scope of their loss. Taciturn Gwen Pierson and super-geek Basil Grey are Specialists for the Institute--an organization set up to help alien integration into our societies. They take in Kalp, a widower who escaped his dying world with nothing but his own life and the unfinished toy he was making for a child that will never be born. But on the aliens' world, family units come in threes, and when Kalp turns to them for comfort, they unintentionally, but happily, find themselves Kalp's lovers. And then aliens--and the Specialists who have been most accepting of them--start dying, picked off by assassins. The people of Earth, it seems, are not quite as tolerant as they proclaim.

After an intense game of Call Of Duty, they decide to spend the night talking on discord in a group call until Leo speaks up with a great idea. He told the other boys that it was time they actually met up. They were adults who played games for a living. It's not like they actually had much to do. Besides it's been six years, they needed to meet up at some point and it was now or never. The other three of course agreed without thinking twice. They had everything planned out. This trip was going to take a wild turn when they come visit Leo. Leo has many enemies, more then they realized and bad things were always happening. The three became quickly aware of the situation and became his guard dog. Little did they know, they'd become more than his protector and wanted criminals. One meetup, One trip, one house, one body, One big unforgettable mistake. Nothing ever tends to go the way you wished it did. A million problems and a million secrets will be enough to make the town come crumbling down. Escaping the past isn't as easy it seems to be.
