Summary

Pop singer Michael Anderson has just finished a concert in the Bronx when he gets a call informing him his old friend Christopher Moore has been in a horrible car accident. Though Michael has no idea why Christopher listed him as his emergency contact since they haven't spoken or seen each other in ten years, he hurries to the hospital. He and Christopher once dated in high school, and if Christopher needs him, Michael will be there for him.
Fashion model Paul Smith is married to Christopher, who is a travel photographer. Paul, separated from Christopher and living in Paris with his current boyfriend, returns to the Bronx after getting a call from Christopher's father about the accident. Imagine his surprise when he gets to the hospital and discovers Michael, the guy he stole Christopher from when they were sixteen, holding vigil over him in the ICU.
As he lies in a coma, Christopher's conscious returns and he overhears two voices. One is his cheating husband, and the other is the only guy he's ever loved. It's Michael's face he sees when he finally awakens. Old memories come rushing back, including the reason he's with Paul instead of Michael. Christopher wants to undo the injustice he did to Michael years ago, but first he needs to rid Paul from his life. Will it be enough for Michael to take him back?
