Ethan Mitchell is your typical, artistic, intelligent, kind introvert who suffers from social anxiety and a strong distrust of people. That is, if you consider his troubled home life, typical.
Things get pretty bad in the Mitchell home when Ethan's drug-involved older brother's dealer takes a dangerous and costly stop by their house to collect what he was owed. That's where Officer Parker Hayes and the rest of his gang comes in, offering Ethan some solace and protection.
What happens when Parker takes a liking to the kind, nervous, and somber teenager and wants to help him?
Will Parker be able to help, or will Ethan's world fall apart once more?
This is a boyxboy story, and this is your warning. :)
Will probably have some mature rated scenes, so be warned.
