Summary: He’s a 30-something teacher at a high school.  Bright blue eyes, a guarded personality, and a past held in shadows.  Can it really be the presence of a 20-something Australian barely settled in a new country that opens him up? When Ross arrives in America, he doesn’t expect his job as an art teacher to be what ends up making fall in love.  When Brian starts the new year, he expects another year of the same things of the last 7 years. But fate seems to have a different idea for him, his roommate, his roommate’s boyfriend, and Ross.  Their friends are just kind of along for the ride. Love, passion, fear, and the darkness of the past all come to light.

Summary: Arin Han/son is a small-time illustrator who’s recently fallen into a rut- drawing comic strips for the newspaper, taking sparse amounts of portrait commissions, and only occasionally leaving his apartment to ensure he didn’t become a total recluse just isn’t cutting it anymore.

Sometimes the best fix is getting out and spending more time with your friends. Sometimes a new opportunity arises in the midst of it all.
