A month has passed since Laurens left for the Carolinas. A month has passed since Laurens left him. A whole month of seperation has passed and Hamilton hasn't improved. Hamilton, still a high school senior, feels broken and burned out. Empty. Bare. Exposed. He feels as if he's started all over again from the very beginning. When Hamilton finds out about Laurens's capture and being held as prisoner of war, Hamilton does every thing he can to rescue him. But in order to rescue his dear Laurens, Hamilton has no other choice but betray him with an old friend. (Second book of The Helpless Trilogy)
