April Blues

In a perfect world Romeo Blythwood would have grown up somewhere down south in a nice white picket fence home with two loving nurturing parents, a big ole golden retriever and a couple of younger siblings. He'd complete school with his close childhood friends and eventually go off to college with hopes of making something out of himself.

But this wasn't a perfect world and Romeo's reality couldn't be further from that fantasy.

The oldest of 2, Romeo has lived a life that many could only imagine in their worse nightmares. Born 'n raised to Jamaican immigrants from a very young age Ro learned he was all he had. Parents led astray, snatched away by the fast life Romeo put himself through school, scrapping up anything he could manage to survive on the ruthless streets. Turning to desperate means to provide for himself as well as his baby sister.

Life had been more than unkind to Romeo yet he continued on hoping one day it would finally grant him the blessing he'd been waiting for his whole life.

And it had, even if it was only for a little while.

Recently widowed, 25 year old Damario Leone is restless. After the death of his late husband, Mario packs himself up and moves across the country to NYC from California hoping to live out the rest of his days by his lonesome while running his small "Boys and Girls" club for kids and French restaurant he built from the ground up all in the heart of Brooklyn.

Wounds of his love still fresh Damario had no intention nor interest in finding anyone else. His heart simply couldn't fathom it. But the second he found tall yellowbone boy stark naked thrown out in a random alleyway with strange fluids and open wounds he quickly learned that love waited for no one, not even the April Blues.
