After being closeted costs him his first serious relationship, Pasha resigns himself to one-night stands and loneliness.

But after a chance encounter with lost delivery truck driver, Daniel Englewood, Pasha starts to question all of his assumptions about life. Daniel is sweet, funny, smart, drop-dead gorgeousand for the last six years, he's been living with HIV. Pasha worries that he won't be strong enough to help Daniel if HIV turns to AIDS, but he can't walk away from their deepening attraction. He also doesn't know if he can be strong enough to face the hardest task that a relationship with Daniel demands: coming out to his family and friends, and risking losing everything else he holds dear.
