Recker has always known two things: he loves Kalvin, and his parents can never find out. Growing up in a deeply conservative town, under the suffocating rule of his controlling and emotionally abusive parents, Recker has learned to keep his true self hidden. His secret is his survival, and with Kalvin-the star quarterback who's everything he needs-they've mastered the art of sneaking around, making plans for a future where they can be free.
When Recker's parents find out the truth, they cut him off from Kalvin completely, controlling every aspect of his life. With no way to communicate and the walls closing in, Recker finds himself spiraling. Just when it seems like he has no one left, his estranged older brother, Deric, returns, offering a lifeline.
As Recker struggles to hold on to his love for Kalvin, Deric promises to help him fight for his freedom. But with his parents determined to break him, Recker must find the strength to keep going-before it's too late.
