Kaden Lavalle has a theory: there's something about parking lots that turns perfectly sensible, moderately intelligent, morally upright citizens into absolute fucking idiots. That's the only way he can explain how he wound up back in his very rural, very conservative hometown in Southern Saskatchewan. Kaden's determined to have an innocuous, drama-free summer in his hateful hometown, but his plans are derailed when newcomer Luke Montoya arrives. Unwittingly, Kaden finds himself teaching Luke--an openly gay man who's more used to the big city life--how to survive small-town life, but as he and Luke grow closer, Kaden soon finds himself questioning the things he thought to be true about not only his hometown, but himself. Will Kaden be able to navigate the trecherous waters of his revisited youth, or will the depths finally manage to drag him below?
