FBI Director and Supervisory Special Agent Cameron Amerio harbors a heavily guarded secret: he is gay, maintaining a strict public facade to protect his professional standing. Unknown to him, his former best friend, Asher Angel, shares the exact same secret and has secretly been in love with him for years, with neither daring to confess their mutual attraction in the past. Tragically, Asher is wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit and sentenced to life in a maximum-security prison, spending five years behind bars while a massive, systemic conspiracy within the upper echelons of the Department of Justice keeps him locked away. Refusing to trust standard legal channels due to deep-seated corruption, Cameron works shoulder-to-shoulder with the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) to hunt down the real perpetrator behind the frame-up. After the actual killer is caught and arrested, Asher’s name is cleared and the federal order for his immediate release is signed. Stepping outside the prison gates into the sunlight carrying a box of his possessions, Asher fears no one survived his past life to wait for him—until he finds Cameron waiting for him. Cameron is leaning casually against the driver’s side door of a federal vehicle, dressed ruggedly in a tight black undershirt tucked into denim jeans, an unbuttoned flannel shirt, and heavy leather cowboy boots, ready to welcome him home.
