Nathan has been hiding in the closet from his religious conservative family since he was a teenager. Now that he has enough distance from them, he’s finally ready to step into the gay dating scene, or so he hopes.
Second Circle, a nightclub themed around Dante’s Inferno, is the sort of place his family would avoid, so it’s the perfect spot for a fresh start. His date Shawn is everything he wishes he could be: out and proud, confident in his identity, and forging his own path without worrying what people think of him.
Nathan grows more and more enamored as the date progresses, but then the last people he wants to see show up at the club and threaten to bring his new beginning to an abrupt end.
