Harold is 21, a Harvard student studying to become a lawyer, and a young man trying to build a life separate from his complicated family history. He grew up with his mother, Denise, and his sister, Millie, in a tiny three-room house. It wasn’t fancy, but Harold remembers it as home—a place filled with family meals, laughter, quiet nights, and memories he still carries with him. His biological father is a world-famous billionaire CEO who wasn’t around during Harold’s childhood. Denise raised Harold and Millie mostly on her own, while his father eventually created a new life and married another man. Millie is now pursuing a career as a singer and actress while working at Koi Café. Now Harold lives in New York and attends Harvard, but after spending his money on college, groceries, gas, and other expenses, he realizes he can’t afford his rent. So he accepts a job as the assistant to a mysterious, powerful CEO. On his first day, Harold discovers that someone from his past works there too: Elio, the boy who bullied him since preschool. Elio used to embarrass Harold constantly, including exposing Harold’s feelings for both boys and girls when Harold was still in the closet. But now Elio seems different. Instead of bullying Harold, he’s constantly trying to get close to him. Harold doesn’t know whether Elio genuinely cares about him or whether there’s another reason behind his sudden change. And when Harold discovers that his new boss’s identity may be connected to his own family, his ordinary job becomes the beginning of a much bigger mystery.
