Bernard "Boom" Daye has only had one love in his life, Alex Lee, an accountant who lives across the country in Las Vegas. When they were young lovers, tragedies of youthfulness, foolishness, and bad decisions pulled them apart. Alex was sexually confused and Boom physically suffered after a horrible biking accident. The two men broke up and went their separate ways and haven't talked since. What a shame.

But eight years later, Boom sees Alex is back in Pittsburgh. The two accidentally bump into each other while eating dinner and share a conversation. Will serendipity allow a romance to begin again for the pair?
