"Be yourself; you finally have the opportunity."

Keith has spent his life pretending to be something that he is not; straight. But after meeting Toby, his first boyfriend, and falling head-over-heels, he finds the strength and courage to step out of the closest and live his truth with pride. For months, everything seems perfect. Until Toby pulls the rug out from below his feet and Keith stumbles through a web of secrets and lies that leave him standing on shaky ground and questioning everything about the man he thought was the love of his life, and his own judgment.
