Baker Brockton's lover, Coby Darling, left town last year because Baker was afraid to come out and admit Coby was more than a friend. Baker's been miserable ever since, but now Coby's home for the holidays, and Baker thinks they might have a chance until Coby hints that he might move back to town if Baker can give him what he wants. Baker is furious about another ultimatum—is he willing to compromise if it means they'll be together?
