Eric and Allie share a history neither of them knows how to forget.

Once, they were teenage stepbrothers thrown together by their parents’ marriage. Two boys navigating grief, rigid rules, and feelings neither was ready to name. One night changed everything. Silence followed. Then distance. Then years of pretending it never happened.

Now they’re adults.

Eric is disciplined, controlled, and freshly untethered after leaving the military and finishing his degree. Allie is rebuilding his life piece by piece after addiction and rehab, determined not to fail again. When circumstances force them back into each other’s orbit, the past they buried refuses to stay quiet.

Because what happened between them wasn’t confusion.

It was real.

As they navigate sobriety, independence, and the weight of family expectations, Eric and Allie must confront whether the connection they’ve spent years denying can survive honesty. And whether they’re strong enough to choose each other without shame.
