Scott Hoying won American Idol and quickly became America's, new darling. He didn't expect to find his former childhood best friend on a movie set. Mitch had disappeared from his life the instant he'd passed the audition for the show. He no longer answered calls. He no longer responded to texts. It was as if they had never been friends. Scott was forced to get on with life, hiding parts of himself that he was afraid to show the public. But when tragedy forces them to return home, they are forced to face each other's wounds. Scott needed to learn to be happy being who he is. Mitch needed to make peace with the talent he'd disowned. Winter winds blow.
