Description
How far would you be willing to go to reveal the truth?
Finding a good work-life balance isn't always easy when you're sleeping with the boss. Charlie Watts is stressed as he studies for his private investigator's licence, starts taking on his own cases and navigates his relationship with Declan Hunt. He thinks he can handle it, but every time their relationship seems to be going well, work gets in the way.
While Charlie investigates a threatening note that appears to be from a boy who disappeared ten years ago, Declan tries to find the meaning behind the final words of a man who was brutally murdered. As Declan and Charlie work to solve these mysteries, secrets from the past are exposed, Charlie is haunted by ghostly dreams and Declan is forced to confront some terrible truths from a hidden past.
Ultimately, the truth will be revealed, but at what cost? And will Declan and Charlie be able to solve the mystery of where they want to go next with their relationship before things at work take a terrible turn?
