James and Adam have been the best of friends since they were in diapers. They went through everything together, from flying to space in a cardboard spaceship to being the glue that barely held their families together. When they reach high school is when they begin to see the image of their old life shatter before them. 

James's mom left. 

Adam's mom died. 


Adam's dad became an even worse alcoholic than before she died, and Adam begins to feel the repercussions of it. On top of that, he is beginning to realize that James, his closet friend,confidant, no longer held just that platonic position in his heart anymore. However, fear of his father is slowly turning Adam paranoid, and he begins to drift away from James.

 However, on the flip side of everything, James is beginning to fall for the friend who was his rock through everything after his mom's abandonment. When Adam distanced himself from James, James  takes it upon himself to help him. It's only after he dives in that James realizes just how deep a mess he entered.

Adam's father hates James now, as soon as he finds out how intense the two boys' relationship is. He hates his son for being different. For loving a boy.

This is the story of those two boys. Friends.Lovers. Soulmates torn apart by society. This is their story  of love, abuse,alcohol, and broken spirits.
