A New York City busker and artist, scraping together tips to pay rent at his rickety Brooklyn apartment. A failed actor turned marketer, living in a high-rise apartment on the Upper West Side, hiding from his true desires. Dean is a mid-20-something, rough-around-the-edges musician, living a raucous life in Brooklyn with his best friend and music collaborator, Phoebe. His long afternoons busking in Central Park let him scrape together rent. He's fighting to become everything he always dreamed of: an accomplished musician. Yet, Phoebe's love for him-something he can never return-along with her hefty emotional problems and drinking, lead him to take a better-paying doorman gig on the Upper West Side. He becomes the silent eyes and ears for some of the richest of Manhattan. And that's how he meets Adam. Brooding, angry, volatile Adam is every bit the hunk Dean has always lusted after. Dean watches him from his doorman's post, learning more about him-from afar. When he and Adam strike up a bit of a professional relationship, things begin to grow dark, sensual, alive. That is, until Adam's ex-wife, Rachel, discovers the secrets of their affairs. With Mallory, Adam's daughter, in her care, she dangles Mallory over Adam's head, insisting that he end his gay tendencies and return to a life of "normalcy." With Dean's professional, artistic, romantic, and friendship lives scattering to the wind, he takes to the road on a music tour that will change the trajectory of his entire life. Out on the road, he must hunt for a way to either stop loving Adam-or learn to be away from him for good. Will Adam and Dean fight for their romance, a love that could last forever? Will Dean ever return to New York to find out? And will Adam be perpetually downtrodden, kicked down by the woman he'd once hurt by trying to cover up his true, homosexual desires?
