description: Finding someone who accepts you for who you are isn't as easy as it sounds. Kicked out of his home at sixteen, he found himself staying in an abusive relationship just to survive. Finally free, he's determined to piece his life back together.  Dayton is part of one of the hottest rock bands to hit the scene. He's living his dream as he tours, sharing the music he loves with the world. The problem is, no matter how hard he tries, he can't find anyone to look past his fame. Everyone wants a piece of the celebrity, not the man behind it. He's tired of playing a role and wants someone to see him for who he really is.  When a misdirected text message brings Dayton and Bart together, they find an easy friendship as they hide behind the phone screen, neither sharing their true identity with the other. The anonymity allows them to share things they wouldn't with others, drawing them closer, and building a trust between them.  When events force them to meet, Bart and Dayton worry things will change, but that doesn't happen. What they find is something stronger than either one ever imagined.  Still, the past haunts them, and when one of them is targeted, they risk losing everything they've built together. It will take patience and love to get Bart and Dayton through the trials they must face. With the world watching their every move, they hold on to the only thing that makes sense in their lives… each other.
