It’s been two months since the tragic car accident that took the life of one of college freshman Keith’s neighbors, Matt Holt, causing his sister Pidge to go deep into denial. When it’s clear Pidge won’t open up on her own, Colleen Holt decides to bring in an outsider for help; a friendly, funny, and strangely mysterious “Big Brother” named Lance. But when Lance’s bad sense of direction lands him on Keith’s doorstep instead, Keith has to make a split-second decision; protect Pidge from being forced to talk, or direct Lance to the right house and stay out of it? The answer is obvious, but the consequences are less than ideal, and soon he finds himself further wrapped up in the situation he’d wanted nothing to do with. To make matters worse, Lance starts unexpectedly popping up all over the place, intertwining himself even further in Keith’s life. Will Lance’s cheerful personality really be the key to helping Pidge open up, or is it something deeper about him? Does his playful flirting mean anything, or is it all just a game? And can Keith really get close to him without consequence, or will his conflict of interest make it impossible?
