For almost a year, they've been trekking across the country from Colorado toward a sanctuary in upstate New York. Kyle's survival skills have kept them alive, and Tobin wants to repay the man he loves with a very special gift of his own making. He sneaks off in search of the last few pieces only to get himself and Kyle kidnapped by a desperate stranger. With their journey to New York on holdpossibly indefinitelythey'll need to accept that home isn't always defined by a place as much as the person you're with.
