They didn't love each other and didn't think they ever would, they just loved being friends ... Max has gotten himself into more trouble than he ever thought possible. He strays from the warnings that has been practically drilled into him by his hump buddy, and falls into a trap. Far away from his family and Ralph, he becomes a slave to four guys for the rest on what was supposed to be his holiday. He prays for salvation, and he gets it from someone who needed some saving too... Kolby cringes every time he sees Max beaten up by the three other guys, and seeks to free him. He's still on his first year and he never thought that the guys he thought were his friends would be so brutal to someone who just got lost on the Pacific Beach. He wants to help him, but there are consequences for taking Max's place. Will they ever escape the claws of these three men? And if they do, will each other's secrets hinder them from having the happy ever after that they each deserve? Sample: "Don't go past lifeguard tower 3," Max remembered as he came to it, but he continued walking. Doesn't look very intimidating to me was his thought as he waved to the beach guard. The beach curved gently and Max was soon out of sight of tower 3. He walked for another few minutes, decided there was nothing interesting or special about this stretch of beach and turned to go back. As he turned he caught site of the house at the edge of the dunes. It was a cross between a beach hut and a proper house. It looked well cared for, but stood by itself it looked a little incongruous. Continuing his turn he was confronted by four boys, about his own age or a little older. They were a mix of colors, but to a man they were well put together and Max couldn't help noticing, well-endowed, as they were all wearing Speedos. The obvious leader of the four addressed Max. "What are you doing here white boy?" Max shrugged and just replied, "Exploring." "Well we'll help you, starting with the house on the dune," pointing at the house that Max had just noticed. Max remembered then, Ralph's warning so he continued walking angling to go round the group of guys. "Thanks, but I need to get back now." In a flash, they were on him and two of them had his arms twisted up his back, painfully, and started to march him towards the house. The leader spoke again. "Behave yourself and we may let you go in a couple of days. Give us any trouble and you may find bits missing from your body." The menace in that statement wasn't lost on Max and he took a long look at these four men...
