LOVE. LOSS. REDEMPTION.

After a party, two men accidentally swap their jackets and are thrust into a most opportune meeting. In each other they find what they've been missing. Love. Companionship. Trust. Honesty. Vulnerability. And they find everything they feared. Tragedy. Loss. Loss of self. Loss of freedom. Loss of each other.

Acclaimed cartoonist Jeremy Sorese (Curveball) presents a tragic but redemptive love story about two men who meet, quickly fall in love, and then find themselves falling apart when an unexpected event changes both their lives forever

"An epic that's part science fiction, part allegory, and part offbeat queer love story." - Publishers Weekly review
