He's hungry for a fresh start, a chance to prove himself in the cutthroat metropolis, and maybe even stumble upon the kind of connection he's only dreamed of. Little does he know, that connection is closer than he ever expected-embodied in his new, enigmatic best friend, Liam Hayes.

He moves through the underground with ease, while Noah struggles to keep up. Despite their differences, an instant bond forms between them-a friendship laced with late-night chases through the underbelly of the district and dangerous, unspoken feelings that Noah desperately tries to suppress.
