Following the traumatic events in his university days, with the love and strong support of the man he loves, his friends, and family, Hunter has not only survived but flourished. In the opening of Fourth Down: Second Quarter, we witness Hunter and Dale, along with their children, moving forward in life, settling into a new home and a new town, surrounded by the tight-knit family of choice they’ve created. As new friends are welcomed into their circle, they come together to celebrate their reunion and the next chapter of their lives. Trouble lies ahead, though, as they face new challenges and forces intent on destroying their lives.

Fourth Down is the story of Hunter McIntosh, his university team’s star quarterback, who was, by all appearances, living the dream. Accomplished in athletics, physically fit, well-liked, and respected by students and his coach alike, vanished one day. Unknown to family and close friends, Hunter had a secret discovered by the wrong person, leading to a sequence of life-threatening traumatic events. His whereabouts unknown, would anyone discover what had happened to him? Could he be found in time, or be left to perish?

Hmm, Mayson... must have been and probably cursing Karma as a real bitch. She should have gone fully loaded with the scumbags’ legs, not the only appendages he lost. Excellent, having Dale overhear that conversation. It’ll be interesting to see how Hunter’s friends react to that bit of news. As for Olivia, she absolutely must be history.
