It might sound cliche to some, but everyone in life struggles. Whether it's because of the cards that they are dealt, the people in their environment, or the environment itself, there are many struggles that can consume one person. Money, lust, anger--these things can destroy one person's life, or millions.
Where does Colt O'Brian fit in to all of this?
Colt, a struggling college student who moved halfway across the nation from his alcoholic, resentful father, is lost in his own world. Struggling with the death of his mother, the expectations of his tyrannical, famous father, his own sexuality, and the torture of his future, life seems hopeless and bleak.
Until he meets other people who are just as lost and confused as he is, especially when it's a stranger at the gym, a lawyer looking beyond the horizon, and his best friend.
