Fin dall’infanzia, Jake, Adam, Kyle e Brendan sono stati compagni di squadra, migliori amici, quasi fratelli. Un giorno, però, compiuti venticinque anni, Adam sparisce senza dire una parola, sconvolgendo i suoi amici – nessuno però quanto Jake, che ne è stato segretamente innamorato sin dall’adolescenza.

Ora, cinque anni dopo, Adam torna e non riesce a smettere di pensare a Jake. Ma tutti quegli anni di rabbia, dolore e confusione sono troppo da superare e l’amico non riesce a perdonarlo facilmente. Non sa se torneranno più a essere perfetti l’uno per l’altro come lo erano stati in passato. Jake, Kyle e Brendan sono andati avanti con le loro vite, ma la carriera di famoso uomo d’affari di Adam lo costringe a rimanere nascosto – lì dove è rimasto per anni. Eppure le sue scuse sembrano sincere, l’attrazione è ancora presente e Jake vuole disperatamente concedergli una seconda possibilità. Ma prima, deve scoprire perché Adam se n’è andato e se è davvero tornato per sempre.

Best friends Michael Reeves and Simon Newell always lived within ten minutes of each other, but somehow they’re never in the same place at the same time.

Brash, outgoing Michael’s unwavering confidence that he and Simon are meant to be carries him through some hard times. When Simon moves to New York, Michael dutifully follows. Quiet, practical Simon loves Michael as a dear friend, but he’s not ready for anything romantic.

Several years and several failed relationships later, Simon realizes he’s been in love with Michael all along. Only now Michael has moved on. Though Simon offers everything Michael’s ever dreamed of, the timing is all wrong. Confusion, betrayal, and secrets from the past threaten their friendship until it might be time for them to go their separate ways. Or maybe the planets will finally align, and Michael and Simon will find themselves in the right place at the right time to take the next step.

Former professional baseball player Justin Piersol needs a new life after a career-ending injury, and his job as a high school baseball coach isn't exactly fulfilling. Still, things are looking up: he finds the perfect room in an apartment in Brooklyn with Mark, who writes a popular column on sports statistics.

Mark is nerdy and socially awkward and intensely shy, and he immediately develops a terrible crush on Justin, who barely seems to notice him. As they get to know each other, Justin admits he misses playing baseball, that coaching doesn’t scratch the itch. Mark confesses he thought he’d be married by now, that he wants a serious relationship. So they make a pact: Justin will help Mark find a man, and Mark will help Justin find something he loves more than baseball.

They put their plan into action… and then life gets complicated. Mark meets a nice guy named Dave, and Justin is suddenly crazy with jealousy. Justin realizes he wants to let go of the past and focus on the present, but as Mark and Dave become an item, Justin fears he’s too late.
