The first step to getting help is admitting there’s a problem…

As his emotional state begins to spiral, Jessie finally seeks psychiatric help. That's where he meets Kacey Monroe. She’s the most beautiful woman Jessie has ever laid eyes on, and she also knows the pain of loss. While they bond over their life experiences and mutual attraction, Jessie finds comfort in the normalcy of having a high school girlfriend.

Jessie's support system is not only shaken—it's completely destroyed as a revolting secret is exposed.

A split second decision completely alters the course of Jessie's life in a way he can't possibly comprehend as he and Kacey are left to face the aftermath…
