Nathan Brooks. A 23 year old college student finding his way between the walls of a rather small dry cleaners shop. He strives for the simple college life, keeping to himself and never doing more than necessary. Elias bursts through the doors one day, practically begging for help with his boss' messed up, coffee-stained shirt; and he brings a storm right in with him. 

Expecting to never see the pretty blond ever again, life moves on. Only weeks later they meet again with another surprise for Nathan that nearly wipes the floor right from under his feet. His high school best friend? What is going on? 

One thing leads to another and the lives of four very different men are suddenly becoming intertwined, chaotic and very messy. A mess much bigger than any coffee stain and one that Nathan might not be able to clean up. How ironic that he cleans other people's messes, but he can't seem to be able to do the same for himself. 

Part-time job turned into a hotspot of potential love and romance. How did that happen?

Before she can object, I carry on. 'Maya you are beautiful beyond perfection. You are strong. You are brave. You are funny. You are sweet. You are incredible. Look at yourself,' I nod down towards the scars on her arm and she slowly glances down at them before meeting my gaze again, 'those scars are beautiful. Do you know why?' I ask her. She wipes a tear from her already tear-stricken face before she shakes her head. 'Because every time you decided to do that to yourself, you didn't go further, you didn't end your life. You decided to carry on living even when you thought you couldn't manage it. Those scars right there,' I gesture to them again, 'show the battles you won against yourself. They are your battle-scars and you shouldn't be ashamed of them. And you know what? I am so proud of you for making it to where you are today because you are a fighter and If I can see that, anyone can.'
