Brothers Jason and Joe grow up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, within a magical backyard of safety, comfort, and love. But when Joe is killed in a car accident just before Jason graduates from college, his idyllic world suddenly crumbles around him.

With his youthful sense of immortality deeply shaken with Joe’s death, Jason embarks on a journey of self-discovery after college graduation that leads him across Europe with the hope he can discover a new perspective on life, death, and living with loss. Even as he battles a seemingly endless internal struggle between the strict teachings from his Catholic faith and his overwhelming desire to live his life as a gay man, Jason continues to press on, realizing that his happiness depends on his determination to find the answers.
