Due to extensive injuries David received while abroad and serving his country, his love life is practically nonexistent. The moment a potential lover, even a one night stand sees beneath David’s clothing they are gone like the proverbial wind. If he’s lucky they don’t say what they’re thinking.

Another Friday night, David girds his loins and enters a friendly gay bar near home in Jacksonville. Tonight it seems the angels are looking down on him when he meets Kevin Boxer, who is ironically also an ex-Army Ranger. They hit it off at the bar where they discover so much in common. When the evening turns to one of their homes and pursuing the sexual attraction they feel it’s time for David to come clean, to see if Kevin is willing to look past the scars and damage to see the man inside.
