description: Can Love Overcome a Lie?
  
  Payton Garner's big brother Flex means the world to her, and when he decides to move from San Jose to Atlanta after a bad break-up with his lover, her entire family is upset. The only consolation is the news that he's found a new man, fellow firefighter Lincoln Carver. Flex hasn't exactly been truthful - Lincoln, who is straight, knows nothing about it. Fate brings Peyton and Lincoln together under unusual circumstances, and sparks begin to fly. While Lincoln realizes he has fallen for Flex's baby sister, he resists telling his friend the truth and decides to pursue Peyton. But when Lincoln is invited to a family wedding as the guest of Payton and her brother, will true love win out once Flex's secret is revealed?
