Is it better to keep some secrets locked away?

Matt thought his life was perfect, but he learns there’s no such thing when the man he planned to marry breaks his heart and leaves him holding the pieces. Needing to escape and lick his wounds, Matt heads to New England to spend time on his brother’s lobster boat. A one-night stand proves to him that empty sex does nothing to mend old hurt, and neither does running away.

So when Matt’s best friend, Luke, a firefighter, is seriously injured, Matt steps up, even if it means facing bigotry and ignorance. Luke has been hiding his feelings from Matt all their lives, and revealing them after so many years won’t make life easier for either of them. But nothing worth having ever comes easily….

Poi deve vedersela con un collega che ha una cotta pazzesca per lui. Gestisce una gastronomia durante il giorno e il palco di un night club la notte. Per lui, il caos è uno stile di vita: nulla potrebbe renderla peggiore. Fino a quando al club non incontra una celebrità locale, presumibilmente etero, e i suoi veri problemi iniziano.

Essere completamente onesto metterà in pericolo tutto quello per cui Bradley ha lavorato, ma affrontare la realtà è la sua unica possibilità di essere davvero felice.
