Cal and Harlan and Buddy have been blessed with second chances. Now it’s 1959, and police lieutenant Buddy receives an early-morning phone call: his friend Harlan, a store owner, has been shot in a break-in. Cal, now a preacher, meets Buddy at the hospital, and together, as professionals and as friends, they begin to unravel what might have happened to Harlan.

It grows more and more difficult for Chase to avoid Tyler's attempts to set him up with girls, and he's tired of making excuses. Chase is ready to embrace the man he is, but he's afraid of what it will cost him.The Davidsons seem like the perfect family, but Chase soon realizes there's trouble in paradise. Tyler's dad, Nathan, has done everything to make a good life for his wife and children-including suppressing his sexuality and denying his needs for years. But like Chase, Nathan is growing weary of living a lie. What begins as an offer of support from Chase grows into an unexpected attraction that will have profound effects on everyone. Chase and the Davidsons are about to learn that there's no such thing as a perfect family and that perfection is overrated.
