Crew and Anderson have been inseparable since childhood, but when life pulls them in different directions, unspoken feelings simmer beneath years of friendship—and Crew's carefully hidden struggle with addiction threatens to unravel everything. Anderson has always been there, rock-solid and dependable, but he's harboring dangerous secrets of his own that could change their relationship forever. When these two finally confront what's been brewing between them, they'll have to decide if their bond is strong enough to weather the storm ahead. This emotional, raw friends-to-lovers journey explores what it means to fight for the people you love most, even when the battle gets messy and real.
Reading soundtrack
Intense, sensual indie and alternative rock with dark undertones—think smoldering tension, forbidden attraction, and raw vulnerability. Moody vocals over electric guitars, R&B soul, and brooding electronic beats. Music that captures obsession, internal struggle, and the heat of crossing boundaries you swore you never would.
