Axton is one of Opportunity's firefighters of the 72nd brigade, and after bumping into a beautiful man with golden eyes, he gets himself a date. Between personal talks, pizza and high-heels, he falls in love too quickly with someone who may not feel the same. Rhys is Hyperion's head of cybernetics, responsible for launching a new OS to top the one used by their rival, Atlas. As the company nears its 50th Anniversary, he sees himself target of his boss' infatuation and doesn't know if his actions are driven by lust, hero-worship or an opportunity to get more power. Jack, Hyperion's CEO, whom has a past he can't let go, finds himself each day more enamored with one of his employees. His family supports his decision of trying to have a love life again after so many years. But, they also try to convince Jack to go back to therapy and continue the treatment of his borderline syndrome.
Intimacy does not mean that every door is ready to be open and trust can be easily broken with the right words. Sometimes, we forget we are nothing more than a biological, flawed, simple being: human.
