Nathan is a Navy veteran currently attending school in Seattle for Computer Science. He spends most of his days alone while the rest of his old friends and family are in Virginia. A bit of a loner who only trusts himself in any situation, he deals with the mental aftermath of military service while struggling to form genuine connections. But what happens when old wounds refuse to heal, and you have no other option but to face your past life?
Max is an Ohio-born musician who moved to Seattle with his Pops about a month ago. He used to go to school for music but dropped out to help his dad run the "Pop & Son's Subs" shop, their family-owned business. Outgoing and adventurous, he doesn't plan on running the business for long, as he still wants to pursue his artistic dreams. Regardless, Pops is the only family he has, as they share everything (except the fact that he is gay).
Two people of entirely different backgrounds and personalities run into each other to fit each other's missing pieces and get through this thing called "life."
