Andrew Parker's life has been shaped by tough breaks and heartbreak. Growing up in the remote stretches of Alaska, he came out to his parents only to be kicked out, and his high school graduation ended with the pain of his first love and best friend leaving him behind.
Loneliness became Andrew's constant companion.
After years of struggling and battling depression, Andrew decides it's time to rewrite his story. Moving to sunny Los Angeles, he chases a new dream: opening his own yoga studio. Things finally seem to be looking up-until he meets Vince.
Vince is everything Andrew didn't expect from his lighthearted coworker who teased him on screen every day: a down-to-earth Minnesotan with two kids, recently separated from his wife, and a stunning girlfriend on his arm. Their friendship sparks instantly, with Vince becoming Andrew's running buddy in Warner Park.
But to Andrew's dismay, their easy connection begins to stir something deeper inside him.
Vince already has it all-a family, a picture-perfect life, and a world Andrew feels he could never belong to. Falling for him is a mistake. He's out of Andrew's league. He doesn't feel the same way...
Does he?
