Marquis de Lafayette was killed during a rebel uprising in France. When he died, he had only one request: that Thomas Jefferson, his friend who bore a striking resemblance to him, imitate him and break up with his boyfriend Alexander Hamilton. He wanted to make the news easier for him to bear. But when Thomas develops feelings for Alex, will he be able to keep up the illusion? How long can this scheme last? And, more importantly, must it be a scheme? Would Alex love Thomas if he knew who he really was?
