The truth can set you free. But is it worth the price knowing the truth when it could also tear you apart? The youngest son of a New York mob boss, living with the secret of his sexuality, and aching to be free. A burly Midwestern firefighter, escaping his Ohio roots and dreaming of making a life in New York City. Anthony is the son of one of the city's most infamous mob bosses. He's long known he was gay, but has kept it a secret fearing his family's reaction, especially his brother. In the midst of an all-out brawl with his brother, Greg, an absolute hunk of a firefighter, breaks down the door, with the aim to save Anthony. They soon find themselves in a strange, emotional conversation. One that alters the course of their lives. Greg is the first and only person who seems to see the depths of Anthony's soul. They fall for one another immediately. However, family secrets run amok in Anthony's family. Faced with either life apart, or life far away together, Greg and Anthony dive into a violent, artistic world, seething with Anthony's father's own sexual secrets. They bolt to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, falling into chaos deep in Paris and Berlin. There, Anthony must reckon with his family's truths.
