1.

Two years after his family fell apart Eric finds himself trapped in the never-ending circle of wanting to be loved, to never wanting to be touched again. He finds comfort in his friend Taj, someone who lets Eric in when he needs him, but what happens when Taj is done with Eric playing with his emotions? What if Taj wants more then what Eric is willing to offer? What happens when a handsome older man paints his way into Eric's life and takes him away from the life he knew and shows him the light at the end of the tunnel?

But sometimes the lights are fake, and sometimes the knight in shining armour isn't who you thought he really was.
