Achike can put the terrible things that happened behind him at last; everything is going to be alright. Maybe even better. \nBut after a magical night\, when Achike and Ekene come within a hair’s breadth of admitting their feelings for each other\, a devastating event rips all three men apart. In the aftermath\, it is Ekene and Chibuike who must try to rebuild. And although they have never truly understood each other\, grief may bring them both the peace and happiness they’ve been searching for…
