Description
Hoping to make some extra money, high school teacher Corey Elliot takes a summer job teaching a GED prep course at Indiana State Prison. He knows he will meet the notorious Dustin Sutton, a man who has almost completed serving a ten-year sentence for a crime he didn't commit. "From the moment I saw him within those prison walls, I knew he was off-limits, but there was a spark in his eyes that made me wonder..." To save his mother's beloved home, Dustin courageously agreed to take the fall for his ex-boyfriend's drugs in exchange for a large quantity of cash. Behind bars from the tender age of eighteen, Dustin hopes to quietly transition back into a regular life but quickly realizes it may not be that simple with the label of ex-con weighing him down. "It's a risky move, but it might get us out of this place. It might give us a new life." Together, Corey and Dustin work to find a way to not only repair Dustin's reputation but strengthen the fire that's beginning to burn between them. But when Dustin's ex appears with a tempting offer for Dustin to make some serious cash, Corey is forced to choose between walking the straight and narrow or crossing a dangerous line that could secure a future for him and the man he has grown to love.
