Too effeminate, too soft, too brown, Darren was a disappointment to his ex-military father almost since birth, but growing up in a small-town Alabama middle-class family, he lived a comfortable if lonely life ... until coming out. Soon homeless with little more than the clothes on his back, he found work in a convenience store, living in the moment, shell-shocked and quietly hurting. Rob barely survived the foster care system and set himself the goal of becoming a special agent, keeping others safe and protecting those in need. A job at the gas station is a means to that end, paying for his college courses while he hones his body and mind. Focused, driven, and disciplined ... until he meets Darren. Will he risk his future to teach the vulnerable young man survival skills of the heart and body, or is there no chance for them to have a happy ending?
