Andrew Parker's life has always felt like a series of tough breaks. Growing up in the remote stretches of Alaska, he came out to his parents only to be kicked out, and his high school graduation was marred by the heartbreak of his first love and best friend leaving him behind.
Loneliness became Andrew's new normal.
But after years of struggle and a recent battle with depression, Andrew decides to chase a new dream... He moves to sunny Los Angeles to start fresh and open his own yoga studio. Life seems to be on the upswing-until he meets Vince.
Vince is everything Andrew didn't expect from his lighthearted coworker who roasted him on screen every day: a Minnesotan with two kids, separated from his wife, with a stunning girlfriend on his arm. Their friendship hits off quickly, and soon Vince becomes Andrew's running buddy in Warner Park. To Andrew's horror, their friendship quickly turns into something deeper for him...
Vince already had it all. He was out of Andrew's league. He was surrounded by women. He didn't feel the same way...
Right?
