He wishes more than anything that he could go out and have fun, party like all his classmates, enjoy life in general, but he can’t. He just can’t. But Alex has people in his life, new people, who are desperate to change that – one of being Zack Merrick.

In February, Alex changed. Something happened - a tragic event that the entire town of Newport knows about. When Zack comes to visit for the summer, he knows Alex is different. He's not the same boy he left behind in September. When he finds out the truth, he makes Alex a promise. Alex just hopes he'll stick around long enough to keep that promise.
