Sinopsis

A spring day in a gentrifying neighbourhood begins unremarkably enough; by evening someone has died. 
Nat, a middle-aged queer mother of two, feigns normalcy as she worries about her taciturn, loner son locked in his room. Her friend Maddy, a failed actress and fellow parent, frets over her missed opportunities and considers leaving her marriage. Next door, Ilya, a young construction worker, struggles to renovate a fixer-upper, but a buried stream threatens to flood the basement. An old woman eyes the street through the gap in her curtains. A lonely man wanders.  
As the troubled residents stumble through their errands, navigating the thorniness of class and privilege, of queer respectability and friendship in an overstretched city, each seemingly inconsequential exchange tightens in around the neighbourhood, until finally tragedy strikes, leaving it forever changed.

    It's not easy being a gay man in Utah, but it's even more difficult when you're young and overweight. Jay has never fit in with the general "club culture" and he knows he'd never be attractive enough to catch a one-night stand, much less a boyfriend. Losing himself in books and school alleviates his loneliness, and he doesn't waste time dreaming about what he can't have. Until he meets the new director of the GLBT Center on campus and promptly falls in love -- against all common sense and logic.
    Hoping to catch a few glimpses of Stephen outside of the Center, Jay decides to start working out at the university gym. The plan turns out to be too successful as Stephen volunteers to be his workout buddy, then invites Jay out to lunch, and finally, kisses him.

    Gay and single, Dallas glassware entrepreneur Tomás Espara decides to vacation on a private island in the Gulf of Mexico for two months to prevent a breakdown due to his high-stress career. Although Blue Sun Island is small, it's packed with tropical essence to its gills. Tomás loves the island's hot sun, tranquility, white sand between his toes, calming wind, and the stunning sea glass he collects along his numerous beach walks.
    
    
    He also admires the sexy, well-built, alluring, and Latino groundsman Uldarico "Brass" Brassero. Dammit! Why can't he take his eyes off the chiseled blue-collar worker with the hairy chest? Tomás is here to rest and relax, not be distracted by the groundsman. Geez. This is the last thing he needs.
    
    
    It happens, though: Brass swirls Tomás's relaxation into a wild tempest and turns his world upside down. Can Tomás handle the groundsman and a real tropical storm on the way, or drown in all the island's ultimate chaos?

    Ro Laceleaf, failed forester, is the sole member of Merseton's town watch. It's not an exciting job by any means, but after Geoffrey's disastrous necromantic experiments, the townsfolk insist it's necessary. Ro is both diligent and bored out of his skull, until one night he's called to an emergency at Mrs. Pickle's. A vampire is attacking her house. 
     
     
     
    On the run for several years, Edmund is near starvation and out of options. His last hope for refuge? Merseton. He's heard the town welcomes people outside the ordinary. Edmund's certainly not an ordinary vampire. While he expected suspicion and initial hostility, he didn't anticipate a beating with a wet kitchen mop. 
     
     
     
    Ro needs to make the determination—is Edmund a monster or a potential resident? The more he speaks to Edmund, the more horrified Ro becomes over what he's been through. Edmund's telling the truth—Ro's certain of that—but he's not telling all of it. Ro needs to gain Edmund's trust to learn the whole story, about Edmund and the terrifying enemies hunting him, while not letting Edmund become a distraction. Yes, fine, he's already a distraction. But Ro's not going to fail, not this time. The town, and Edmund, will be safe, no matter what Ro has to do.
